Ghost of Brian Bevan leaving Warrington Wolves' Wilderspool behind

Warrington Wolves legendary winger Bevan, the world's record try scorer, haunted many an opponent at Wilderspool Stadium, the Wire's former home that has since been flattened.

Terry's brother Alan must have been feeling all nostalgic when he created this hair-tingling piece of art showing the great Bev still producing his magic on the land where he wowed thousands and thousands of primrose and blue fans every home game between 1946 and Easter Monday, 1962.

Those who saw him play say there will never be another like him, and his records are unlikely to never be broken.

Altogether, he played a club record 620 times for Warrington, scoring a world record 740 tries for one club in the process.

After moving on to finish his career with Blackpool and including his scoring feats for representative sides such as the now defunt Other Nationalities, he stretched his world record to 796 tries before retiring in 1964.

"I thought you may be interested in this collage of the old Wilderspool and Brian Bevan," said Terry, of High Legh.

"It was composed by my brother Alan.

"He sent it to me as a bit of fun. I told him the first one was a great idea and, eh, he sent this second one.

"His Wire history is thin. In fact, when I told him about a big Wire game a few years ago, he asked if Gerry Helme was playing!

"My brother was a graphic artist and this kind of thing is like a 'doodle' to him."

Bevan made his first-team Warrington debut at home to Oldham on November 17, 1945, and made a tearful farewell appearance against Leigh on Easter Monday in 1962.

With Bevan in their side, The Wire won 12 major trophies.

They won the Rugby League Championship, three times; the Challenge Cup, twice; the Lancashire League, six times and the Lancashire Cup, once.

Bevan topped Warrington's try-scoring list every season from 1946-47 to 1960-61 except for 1956-57 when he was hit with injuries.

He scored seven tries in a match twice, six tries in a match four times, five tries in a match six times and four tries in a match 20 times. Bevan also scored 66 hat-tricks.

His side-step was a powerful weapon, possibly second only to his outstanding speed.

He also had the ability to swerve away from defenders and in many cases make them look like fools.
