With Bev  you had Gerry Helme who could drop the ball on a sixpence, and it always seemed to bounce up for Bev!

Of course lines were only 5 yards apart and defences rushed Bev, but he played on that and just pointed for Helme when it was 'on'!

I was only ten years old then and looking back Helme just popped the ball onto a 'mark' and Bev knew where it was going!!!!

Of course our own Billy Thompson was a short kick merchant!!!!

Thought that myself but didn't see the high tackle (80 0dd year old knees aren't quick enough!).

With 'quick off the mark' rush defences there must be a place for the odd chip or grubber kick through - it worked for Brian Bevan!!!! 

Stuart Wright used to do that quite a bit as well.  Always happy to bet himself against the defenders.

We don't have Brian Bevan.

To date, his best game for us by far.
