Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Ambrose began his career in 1967 with Wolverhampton Wolves, riding in two Division One matches.[1] He stayed with Wolverhampton until the end of the 1971 season, also riding in Division Two for Crayford Highwaymen in 1968 and 1969.[1] His best year was 1969, averaging over 10 points per match for Crayford and over 6 for Wolverhapton, also winning the Second Division Riders Championship.[1] He represented a Young England side against Australasia and Czechoslovakia in 1969, and again in 1973, against Sweden.[1] In 1972 he moved on to Leicester Lions, and scored well until a series of knee injuries prompted his retirement from the sport.[2] In 1973 he returned to racing with Crewe Kings in Division Two, also making four appearances for Leicester.[1][2] He retired early in the 1975 season to concentrate on his motorcycle dealership business.[1] Ambrose was also a musician, and played in a band.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Oakes, Peter & Mauger, Ivan (1976) Who's Who of World Speedway, Studio Publications, {{ISBN|0-904584-04-6}}, p. 9 {{DEFAULTSORT:Ambrose, Geoff}}2. ^1 Jones, Alan (2010) Speedway in Leicester: The Lions Roar, Automedia, p. 157 3. ^Gibson, Sandra (2011) Ain't Bad for a Pink: The Life of Bluesman Pete 'Snakey Jake' Johnson, Matador, {{ISBN|978-1848766655}}, p. 54 9 : 1946 births|Living people|British speedway riders|English motorcycle racers|Sportspeople from Stoke-on-Trent|Wolverhampton Wolves riders|Crayford Kestrels riders|Leicester Lions riders|Crewe Kings riders |
