O. CL.11. W. J. Bailey A.S.C.'Footnote: William James 'Bill' Bailey (6 April 1888 – 12 February 1971) was a World renowned sprint and road cyclist in the early 20th century. As an amateur at the age of 20 he competed in the 1908 London Olympics in the Men's Sprint (Heat 7) and Men's 5,000m (Semi-final 1) events, but failed to reach the Finals in either event. Undeterred, the following year he went on to win the national sprint title in 1909, 1912 and 1913, as well as the World sprint titles in 1909-1911 and 1913. He was the victor of Europe's leading sprint event the Grand Prix de Paris in four consecutive years 1910-1913. In 1914 he turned professional, but the outbreak of War saw him join and serve in the Army Service Corps. He resumed his cycling career in 1920 when he won bronze medal in the track sprint event at the UCI World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium. He remained a professional racer throughout the 1920s and set a British record in 1928 for the half-mile standing start at the age of 40. After his racing career Bill Bailey became heavily involved in coaching and cycling event management. Although acknowledged to have helped the British team in the 1928 Olympics, the medals here for the Berlin and London Olympiads of 1936 and 1948 suggest he was still a principal figure in British cycling throughout the mid-century. He raced around the World and was arguably more well known abroad as he was on British soil. A well known figure in America, he organised race meets at the banked Brooklands circuit, and the American fan base would even be heard singing "Won't you go home Bill Bailey"! He was also a founder of The Bicycle magazine in 1936, and seemingly a UCI delegate for the 1946 World Championships held in Zurich.
