Classic example of how unfamous Ivan was in 1958, listed as Ivor Mauger!!
Absolutely no reason why Ivan is on the cover of an Eastbourne v Rochadale programme.
Picture is Ivan as a member of the victorious 1972 Great Britain team, but in this 1973 tournament he's now riding for New Zealand.
Below the programme from Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs touring World Champions Speedway series in 1977, featuring a stella line up of riders, Mauger, Briggs, Michanek, Muller, Crump, Plech, Stancl, Collins, McMillan.
1970 Sweden v England programme where Ivan Mauger is riding for England, along side Scotlands Jim McMillan !!
The final ever Exeter Speedway programme.
Ivan Mauger returned for one last time.
Christchurch Speedway programme 1972/3 season featuring Ivan on the cover.
Ivan won the Scotianapolis with a 15 point maxium, Chris Pusey was second and Anders Michanek.
The following images relate to a story I didn't know until August 2021. Ivan along side Ronnie Moore rode for Swindon away at Norwich in September 1958.
I wasn't 100% convinced this was a true story, especially as Ivan's name is just written in but I then found these match statistics on the fabulous speedwayresearcher.org.uk
A couple of Glasgow Tigers programmes featuring Ivan, one of which he's riding for the Tigers.
This 1964 Glasgow programme has what i thing is one of the best Ivan Mauger portraits ever taken.
Found this 1958 Wimbledon programme in February 2022, Ivan had 2 rides in the meeting a second place and an exclusion.
