EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of David Bryant, CBE, the legendary bowls player from Somerset, England. The image, taken in the 1960s, shows Bryant in his prime, dressed in a jumper, shirt, tie, and cap, as he concentrates intently on the game. The iconic image of Bryant, with his pipe clenched between his teeth and a trout fishing rod at his side, has become synonymous with the man and his love for the sport. Bryant, who was born in 1926, is widely regarded as the greatest player in the history of bowls. He began his career in the 1950s and quickly rose to prominence, winning numerous national and international titles. His unique playing style, which combined power and finesse, set him apart from his contemporaries and earned him a legion of fans. Despite his success on the bowling green, Bryant was known off the field for his love of trout fishing and his pipe-smoking habit. The photograph captures him in a moment of relaxation, with the peaceful surroundings of the countryside providing a fitting backdrop to his passion for the game. Bryant's impact on bowls was immense, and he continued to play and compete at the highest level well into his sixties. His contributions to the sport were recognized with numerous accolades, including a CBE in the 1982 New Year Honours list. This photograph is a testament to Bryant's enduring legacy as a bowls legend and a man who embodied the spirit of the game. It is a reminder of a bygone era and a glimpse into the life of a man who loved the game and lived it to the fullest.
