Tom Marriott 1999

Tom Marriott #13
Division Two

Hometown: Brantford Ontario
Born May 9th 1951 Sheffield, England
Married, four kids, (two from each side)
E Mail: tmarriott@uniongas.com

Favourite team: Sheffield Tigers of the Premier League.
Favourite riders:
(England in the 60's & 70's Jack Kitchen & Arnold Haley - both Sheffield Tigers)
Canada - Len Dillon (unbelievable natural ability)

Goals: "Not to get injured and to ride as long as I enjoy it. "
"to see more riders race at Paris as this is the only true speedway track we have that is dedicated to our sport."

Speedway Racing:
Rode one year as a novice between 1070 & 1971. Rode in a junior individual meeting at Sheffield and three second half novice races.
"I took up speedway again in 1997 after finding the Paris track. Tried to convince myself that helping out would be enough but I got the bug again. I feel like 19 on the bike, my age as I start to fall off, and 90 when I hit the ground! There is nothing like the experience of riding."

Regrets: "not keeping my English bike, a JAP in a Jackson Rotrax frame!"
