Bevan
died in a Southport hospital at the
age of 66 on Monday, June 3, 1991. The
tributes poured in, including one from
one of Bevan's arch-rivals Billy Boston
- the only other player to have scored
more than 500 career tries.
Ex-Wigan winger Boston said in the Warrington
Guardian: "Brian Bevan was the greatest
I ever played against. He was a real
gentleman. No-one will ever near his
record."
And Warrington club president Clarrie
Owen said: "Words cannot really describe
Brian Bevan. He was a one-off. His try-scoring
was phenomenal. "I have been privileged
to be born in an era which produced
Brian Bevan."

Brian Bevan Player Profile
BRIAN Eyrl Bevan is one of Rugby League's all-time greats.
The Australian wing king set records that will never be beaten. He was a one-off and those still alive who saw him play feel heartily privileged.
It was no surprise in October 1988 that Bev was among the original nine all-time greats to be featured in Rugby League's Hall of Fame.
