1924

Brian Eyrl Bevan (24 January 1924 – 3 June 1991), also known by the nickname of "Wing Wizard", was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s who became the only player ever to have been inducted into both the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame and British Rugby League Hall of Fame.

An Other Nationalities representative and the record try scorer in the history of the Rugby League European Championship, Bevan scored a world record 796 tries, mainly for Warrington.

Brian Eyrl Bevan was born in Sydney on 24 January 1924.

1939

When the Second World War had begun in 1939 he had decided to join the Royal Australian Navy, which restricted his appearances for the club.

Bevan never scored a try for Easts but would go on to break try scoring records in English club football.

Brian's brother, Owen 'Ozzy' Bevan played for Sydney club the St George Dragons as well as Warrington.

He made 8 appearances for the club.

1946

Bevan arrived on board HMAS Australia in Britain in 1946, and all he had with him was a letter of recommendation which was written by former Eastern Suburbs Test winger Bill Shankland.

Bevan requested a trial with Leeds, which was a suggestion from Shankland, but the club decided against signing him partially due to his frail looking appearance.

Shankland also recommended he try Hunslet if Leeds refused to sign him, but once again he was turned down.

He then decided to try his luck with the Warrington club.

Warrington decided to give him an 'A' team trial in November in which he scored a try.

The club were impressed with his first performance and decided to play him in the first team a week later.
