Squire Francis Waterman (27 July 1923 – 8 October 2019),[1] better known as Split Waterman, was an English speedway rider who twice finished second in the Speedway World Championship final.[2][3] Waterman took up speedway while serving in the British Army in Italy and went on to become one of the top riders of the post-war era. He made the headlines again in the late 1960s when he was convicted of gold smuggling and firearms offences.
