The most glamorous name in British sport is Wembley. In 1929 when the Empire Stadium took up speedway, with Sir Arthur Elvin - 'Mr Wembley' - at the helm, it gave the sport (then new to Great Britain) an air of respectability and helped bring it into the mainstream. Elvin wanted only the best, and he immediately set about making sure he had a team worthy of the greatest stadium in the country. The first 'big name' in British speedway, the Wembley Lions enjoyed early success and then became even stronger after the Second World War to win seven out of eight league titles between 1946 and 1953.
