...the Great Bev played his last game for Warrington. I never saw him play a competitive game, but he was surely Warrington's greatest ever player.

Seen clips of bev at various events, sorry not around too see him play, from what i have been told a brilliant player.

He was one of those special players, whenever he got the ball the whole crowd, home and away, stood to see what BB would do. I can only dimly remember my dad taking me to Wilderspool when Bev was still playing, but can remember the excitement.

I am reading the Robert Gate book - The Great Bev - at the minute, he was my father's all time hero. My father sadly passed away on 13th April 2012, I found the book when going through his drawers and cupboards last week. Unfortunately, my fathers memories of Bev are no longer available but he could talk for hours about the great man.



I saw him play once in a testimonial at Wilderspool in the 70s (Alex Murphy ???) and got to sit with him in the changing rooms afterwards. I must find the match programme that he signed for me

Just completed decorating sons bedroom whilst he's at uni -and came across old programmes -one being Brian Glovers all star game - Smack bang centre pages - The great Bev's autograph - Forgot that I had it -been lost for years in the attic -needless to say lost it again to son Bill - I don't need it at 56 the name goes on . To be mounted and sheltered from sun -just need glossy photograph on the greatest now -

Was this before or after Warrington last won the league championship?

Dunno!!Were your lot in the 1st Division or 2nd..??

Suzy Banyon no class for that poor comment

As usual your lack of any common decency has got the better of you.



I would go so far as to say that not only was Bev the best ever Warrington player, his try scoring records make him a strong candidate to be the best player in either code of all time.

The first game I went to that I know of. Not that I remember any of it.

I think Ms Bunnion doesn't realise that supporters can enjoy watching their team without winning silverware every year.Wigan,however Mighty ,have never had Brian Bevan in there ranks !!

Bev used to cut my Grandad's hair. First time he went to his shop he said he had thought of loads of questions to ask him about the club and his try scoring ability but they ended up talking about their time in the Navy (Aus Navy in Bev's case). Bev apparently wasn't that keen to talk about himself, shy man and thorough gent as well as a legend of the game. Robert Gate's book is excellent for anyone who hasn't read it.
