William Kitchen (7 December 1908 in Galgate, Lancashire, England – May 1994) was an international speedway rider who started his career with the Belle Vue Aces in 1933.[1] He earned 41 international caps for the England national speedway team.[2]

Career summary

Before he started speedway Kitchen was a prominent road trials rider and had taken part in the Isle of Man TT.[3]

His pre-war career was with Belle Vue.[4]

After the war he rode in various meeting during late 1945[5] before becoming the captain of the Wembley Lions in 1946 and finished second in the British Speedway Championship.[3] He finished fifth in the Speedway World Championship in 1938.[6]

Kitchen was a member of a National League winning team eleven times in twenty years, a feat made even more exceptional given the fact that the outbreak of World War II cost his Belle Vue team the chance 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 a regular England international with 41 appearances for the national team. In 1950, Bill Kitchen won the Australian 3 Lap Championship at the Tracey's Speedway in Melbourne.

After retirement, Bill ran a motor spares shop bearing his own name, in Station Road Harrow until at least the 1980s.
