Scott Robson
Thirty-four year-old Scott Robson has served the sport well over the years without actually grabbing the limelight. He can rightly be described an out-and-out racer.
He began racing in the mid-80s, following a well-worn path of grass-track racing leading to a career in speedway, firstly in the form of after the meeting spins around MiddlesbroughHe broke into the Berwick side when 18, in 1988, and over the ensuing six years established himself as a fine middle-order rider, making the jump with Berwick on their ill-fated one season in Division One, in 1991.
Far from shamed, recording a five point average, he returned to the Second Division a better rider and went onto average seven points a match during his years with Newcastle and Hull in the mid-90s.
In 1998 he returned to the top flight with Eastbourne, before his release and return to Division Two Berwick midway through the year, joining younger brother Stuart at Coventry in 1999 and 2000, settling as an able reserve in the top flight.
Scott, whose father John Robson raced in the seventies, once more dropped down and re-joined Berwick in 2001, the last two years seeing him really enjoying his speedway at Rye House where he’s been at his career best, his average once more nudging over seven.
This season Scott is a full-time speedway rider, when not fulfilling his Rye House commitments he is free to step in when the Aces require his services.
