Career summary
Before he started speedway Kitchen was a prominent road trials rider and had taken part in the Isle of Man TT.
In 1946 he became captain of the Wembley Lions and finished second in the British Speedway Championship. He finished fifth in the Speedway World Championship in 1939. [Bamford, R. & Shailes, G. (2002). "A History of the World Speedway Championship". Stroud: Tempus Publishing. ISBN 0-7524-2402-5]
Kitchen was a member of a National League winning team eleven times in twenty years, a feat made even more exceptional given to the fact that the outbreak of World War II cost his Belle Vue team of earning Kitchen a twelfth title (the Aces were top of the league when it was abandoned), and the fact that the competition was suspended a further six seasons during the war.
Kitchen was also a regular England international with over forty appearances after the war as well as over thirty pre-war caps.
