Where was
Brian Bevan born and for which Rugby League clubs did
he play?
Martin Parker, Bury
THE JUDGE:
Bevan, who served as a stoker in the Australian Navy
during the war, was born in Sydney on 24 June 1924.
He started his Rugby League career with Warrington
and his jet-paced runs down the wing belied his
weak-looking, spindly-legged appearance. Bevan scored
a record 796 tries, winding down his career with
Blackpool Borough in 1964.
How many
times was Andy Gregory on the winning side in the
Challenge Cup Final?
Jim Pickering, Morecambe
THE JUDGE: Seven
times, twice with Widnes (1981 and 1984) and five
times with Wigan Athletic (1988-92). He was only on
the losing side once with Widnes - in the 1982 Final.
Did Billy
Boston play for any Rugby League club other than
Wigan?
Ron Martin, Cardiff
THE JUDGE:
Cardiff-born Boston, discovered while playing rugby
in the army as a National Serviceman, played for
Blackpool Borough after scoring 482 tries for Wigan.
His career total was 560 tries and he was capped 31
times by Great Britain.
Has Joe Lydon
ever played Rugby League for an overseas club?
Peter Jenkins, Southport
THE JUDGE:
Lydon, a Challenge Cup winner with both Widnes and
Wigan, played for Eastern Suburbs in Sydney for a
season in 1987.
What was Alex
Murphy's record in the Challenge Cup Final?
Jack Harvey, Wigan
THE JUDGE: Alex Murphy, one of the quickest
scrum-halves ever to play Rugby League, appeared in
four winning FA Challenge Cup Finals for three
different teams: St Helens (1961 and 1966), Leigh
(1971) and Warrington (1974). He was player-coach for
three of the finals, and then as a full-time coach
steered Warrington (1975), Wigan Athletic (1984) and
St Helens (1987 and 1989) to the final. Alex also had
a long stint as the outspoken summariser on BBCtv.
