Brett Gavin Saunders (born 9 November 1961) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from Australia.[1][2]

Biography

Saunders, born in Sydney, began his British leagues career riding for Berwick Bandits[3] during the 1980 National League season, although he did make an early season appearance for the Nottingham Outlaws.[4] His debut season ended well after he participated in the Knockout Cup final and contributed to the winning side.[5]

The following season he nearly won a second consecutive knockout cup with Berwick, reaching the final but losing to rivals Edinburgh Monarchs.[6] In 1982, he then joined Edinburgh[7] and improved his season average to 7.03.[8]

Saunders became a regular with Edinburgh and also emerged as a fan's favourite, improving his season average to 7.46 by the end of the 1985 season.[9] By 1988, he was starting his seventh consecutive season with the club and was rewarded with the captaincy[2][10] and in 1989 he recorded a 8.24 career best average for the season.[8]

After eleven years with the Scottish club he rode one final season in 1993, riding for Sheffield Tigers and Middlesbrough Bears on loan respectively.[11]
