Timeline
Gordon William Kennett (2 September 1953 – 11 September 2023) was an English motorcycle speedway rider.
Kennett began his speedway career during the 1970 British League Division Two season, after he joined the Eastbourne Eagles.

Kennett, along with Malcolm Ballard and his brother Dave Kennett formed a strong trio of riders at the top of the Eastbourne averages.
In 1972, he continued to ride for Eastbourne and made his first Oxford appearance in the higher league, riding for the rebranded Oxford Rebels.
He stayed with Oxford for the next three seasons, scoring solidly but the team underperfomed until 1975, when they won the Midland Cup in a dramatic competition that saw home and away draws with Swindon Robins, requiring reruns and a home and away victory over Wolverhampton Wolves to secure the trophy.
On an individual basis he reached the British Speedway Championship final for the first time in 1975.
In 1976, he moved with the team known as the White City Rebels, that switched from Oxford to White City.
He impressed averaging 9.69 and topping the team's averages and was now regarded as one of the sport's leading riders.
In 1977, he averaged 10.41 and helped White City Rebels win the British League.
In 1978, he won the World Pairs Championship and finished runner-up to Ole Olsen in the 1978 Individual Speedway World Championship, at Wembley.
He earned 53 international caps for the England national speedway team.
He had one final season with White City, during the 1978 British League season before the team folded.
However, it was during this season that Kennett recorded his greatest achievements, becoming a World Pairs champion with Malcolm Simmons and finishing second in the World Championship on 2 September 1978.
In 1979, he returned to his first club Eastbourne, topping the team averages for the next four years.
He was a regular rider for England and would go on to earn 53 caps during his career.
The next couple of seasons, he rode for King's Lynn Stars and Wimbledon Dons before returning to Eastbourne again in 1985.
He was now riding National League speedway and finished top of the league averages and won the Knockout Cup in the 1985 National League season.
The success at Eastbourne continued, as he won the "double double" of league and cup in 1986 and 1987.
He continued to be the number one rider at Eastbourne until the end of the 1990 season.
His final season was his 25th, when he appeared for Wolverhampton Wolves in the 1994 British League.
After retiring in 1995, he worked as a car mechanic.
He was later a team manager for the Oxford Cheetahs, during the years that they had no home.
