Andrew Silver is one of the most popular and richest American film director who was born on January 13, 1967 in London, United Kingdom. After a long break from the sport, Silver made a successful comeback as a member of the 2009 Rye House Rockets team in the Premier League and scored a six-ride maximum for the Rockets in their victory over Stoke on 2 September 2009. At the end of the 2009 season, Silver retired once again.
Despite reported attempts to lure him out of the saddle – Andrew caused a sensation by almost winning an individual meeting at Arena Essex during a one-off appearance in 1997 – Silver’s leathers remained on the hook. He retired from speedway early to take up a post in his father’s ski holiday company.
Silver also enjoyed considerable individual success during his tenure with the Hammers, winning the prestigious end-of-season National League Riders’ Championship in 1987 at Coventry to add to the Grand Slam title he won earlier that year at Oxford. In 1988 Andrew moved into top flight racing, signing for British League Swindon. His career stuttered from this point on and – despite four seasons in Robins’ colours – failed to live up to expectations. He moved to Eastbourne in 1992 – and was joined by his father in 1993 – before calling it a day at the start of the 1994 season.
