Paisley Lions were a motorcycle speedway team that participated in the British National League in 1975 and 1976.
The team was based at Love Street in Paisley, Scotland, home of St Mirren F.C..
The club's colours were red and gold with a Rampant Lion. The first meeting was held on the 5th April 1975 in front of a crowd of over six thousand people.
The team did not enjoy a great deal of success and, despite a brave effort by their supporters at the end of the 1976 season, the final meeting was held on 25 September 1976 when the Lions beat Boston 52-25.

Famous quotes containing the word lions:
“No stout
Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”
