Bluey Wilkinson posed for an advertisement of the Victoria V99 Fix, possibly his first commercial appearance. Born and raised in Bathurst NSW, he was nicknamed Bluey as is traditional for redheads in Australia. Wilkinson won the 1938 World Speedway Championship at London's Wembley Stadium - there is a great deal more to his story.
