MIKE PATRICK
WE are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of legendary speedway photographer Mike Patrick.
Mike passed away on Friday morning after battling illness in recent years, having spent decades rightly regarded as the sport’s top photographer.
He was a regular on the UK domestic circuit and also covered all of speedway’s biggest events such as World Finals and GPs, providing many of the images which were published in Speedway Star and national newspapers.
We send our sincere condolences to his wife Jenny and his children and grandchildren at this sad time.
Mike was responsible for many of the sport’s most iconic images – as seen above with his incredible shot of Hans Nielsen at Oxford – and thankfully these will survive for generations to come. His contribution to speedway will never be forgotten.
