Ronnie Moore MBE (born 8 March 1933 in Hobart, Tasmania) is a former international Speedway rider. His family moved to New Zealand when he was still a child.
Career
Wimbledon Dons
Ronnie rode for the Wimbledon Dons from 1950 until 1963 when he retired from racing. He made a comeback in 1969 and reached the World Final. He returned to Wimbledon in 1970 at the age of thirty seven.
World Individual Championship
He won the Speedway World Championship in 1954 and again in 1959. Ronnie also finished runner up on three further occasions. His first win was all the more incredible given the facts that he was still only twenty-one years of age,that he was riding with a broken leg and that he won with a maximum score.
