Stephen John (Steve) Weatherley (born 26 November 1957 in Dartford, England)[1] is a former motorcycle speedway rider[2] who was twice runner-up in the British Speedway Under 21 Championship.
He rode primarily for the Eastbourne Eagles and the White City Rebels, who won the British League in 1977.[3]
On 8 June 1979 he was paralysed whilst riding for Eastbourne at Hackney Wick Stadium, Waterden Road. He was involved in a terrible crash with Vic Harding. Harding was killed and Weatherley was left with a broken back. He has used a wheelchair since the crash.[4]
His nephew, Lee Richardson (1979-2012) was an international speedway rider.[3]
