They just showed a profile on Bevan on Sports Tonight, his uncle was a famous Rugby (not sure inf union or league) player by the name of Brian Bevan.

I saw them mention they were going to do a piece on him during the evening news but didn't getting to see it on ST. Was it any good???

And his uncle was a leaguie.

and he played for the bulldogs and holds the highest try scoring record for any player

My understanding is that Paul Bevan's father played for Canterbury Reserves BUT it is his uncle Brian who was a record try setter in the UK. He played for Eastern Suburbs in Sydney and Warrington .

I thought Brian would be too old to be Paul's uncle, or do you mean his father's uncle?.

Brian retired in 1962 and would have turned 80 a few weeks ago (now dead) Warrington named a Wall at their home ground after him on this day.

(I have a friend who is a mad Warrington fan)
