Philip David Collins (born 2 June 1960 in Manchester, England) is a former motorcycle speedway rider.[1] He finished runner-up with England in the World Team Cup final in 1984 and third in 1985. He was British Under-21 Champion in 1978.[2] His transfer from Ellesmere Port to Cradley Heath in 1978 for £15,000 was a record transfer fee at the time.

Career

Collins started his British leagues career with Ellesmere Port Gunners during the 1976 National League season.[3] The very next season in 1977, he rode a couple of times in the top tier of speedway for the first time with Cradley Heath, while doubling up with Ellesmere Port in tier 2. In 1978, he became the British Under 21 champion and from 1979, he rode exclusively for Cradley Heath.[4]

He won his first team silverware during the 1979 British League season, winning the Knockout Cup and then repeated the success the following year, as well as winning the 1980 Midland Cup.[5]

In 1981, he reached the first of his three World Longtrack finals, finishing sixth,[6] won another Knockout Cup and helped Cradley win the league title. The Cradley team at the time were one of the strongest during that era and were led by Bruce Penhall and Erik Gundersen and they then won the Knockout Cup and League Cup in 1982.[7] The 1983 British League season saw Cradley dominate again and Collins was part of the team that won another league title, Knockout Cup and Midland Cup. It was also during 1983 that Collins reached the final of the 1983 Individual Speedway World Championship.[8]

His last season was in 1986 and when he retired he had earned 55 international caps for the England national speedway team and 1 cap for Great Britain,[2] in addition to reaching seven British finals.
