Brian Bevan played most of his career in Britain, but was never selected to represent his native Australia in a Test Match – although he did mesmerise Kangaroo touring teams with his guile and skill for almost two decades.
In all he scored 796 tries in his career in Britain – a world record by a rugby player of either code. He scored 740 for Warrington and played in the club’s 19-0 victory over Widnes in the 1950 Challenge Cup Final.
