1967 - SYDNEY SHOWGROUND SPEEDWAY 11th November 1967This meeting at the Sydney Showground would be remembered for many thing's, firstly the fact that the British Lions would defeat the Australian Kangaroo's by one single point only.
Secondly the British win proved too much for one very disgruntled Aussie fan who threw a bottle at Terry Betts striking him on the head as the team set off on its victory lap, however the culprit was eventually apprehended.
Thirdly 25,000 spectators packed into the Sydney Showground's to witness the revival of the England verses Australia Solo Test Series.
