Sean Wilson

Sean Wilson (born 7 November 1969 in York, England) is a former international motorcycle speedway rider. He earned 23 international caps for the England national speedway team and two caps for the Great Britain team.

Career summary Wilson had a career spanning 20 years, starting and finishing at Sheffield Tigers.

His first three seasons were with Sheffield, starting during the 1986 British League season. He would average around the 6 point mark in his early career. Also in 1999, he was part of the Sheffield four that won the Premier League Four-Team Championship, which was held on 29 August 1999, at the East of England Arena.

He went on to win the Riders' Championship twice more, the first of which was held on 28 September 2003 at Owlerton Stadium.

His career ended early due to a number of injuries. In 2004, whilst riding in Joe Screen's testimonial at Belle Vue Stadium he crushed the C7 vertebrate in his neck leaving him in a neck brace for several months. He returned in 2005, winning his third final Riders' Championship on 18 September 2005. However, following a dislocated shoulder and a fractured humerus, he was subsequently, much to his disappointment, released at the end of 2005 which triggered his retirement.

After retirement Wilson now has a speedway engine building business and counts former world champion Gary Havelock, Kyle Legault and David Howe amongst his past and present customers.
