Sadly news about David Bryan passed away RIP legend.
Sorry to hear of David Bryant's passing, I met him many times when the World v Bowls was at Coatbridge, he was always good at talking to the young ones, I remember we had taken one of the young boys from our club and when he saw David he was in awe when he came over to speak to us, he couldn't believe how friendly he was x
RIP. What a player he was!
Sad to learn of David's passing. Always laughed at his leg action, but such a highly skilled player. RIP.
40 odd years watching a video clip of the master, he is now in heaven, looking down on us who are trying to master the game of bowls on rinks that are getting faster, thank you David even though my game is a disaster!
David was a superb player, so very skilful and tactically very shrewd
Legend, I was only 11 but always used to watch the bowls even though I was an aspiring rugby league player, total contrast in physical but lots of similarities in the mental and tactical.
Thank you so much for this footage of the great man .. brings back wonderful memories .. and what a gentleman he was .. :-)
Great come back by Chok..he certainly gave Bryant a run for his money..great final, RIP David you were/still are a legend sir!
Never ever missed as he got Bowls going globle and most of all, them Great matces with pipe
I live not too far from Coatbridge used to be a member at the nearby Coatdyke outdoor bowling club junior section back when i was 10,
A "Toucher" can even come off other bowls on it's way to the Jack(or Kitty) and still be a toucher!
was that guy not also a finalist in the world pipe smoking championship back in 78? I stand to be corrected

Was pipe smoker of the year in 1986.....apparently
I can across an awesome compilation of videos that will help on Berts bowls guide
It's crazy how slow these old indoor rinks are
Commentary on bowls has thankfully improved a little in 40 years!
I trying to work out who are the commentators. One sounds like Peter West, a cricket commentator at the time. They sound familiar.

Before coloured shirts to match your bowls Must have been sponsored by Primark or Netto
Is it the camera angle or was there much less bias on the bowls in those days?

looks like it's very heavy, about 12 seconds
Who is Jack?
The focus on this video leaves much to be desired.

Nothing to do with fous. It looks like a second or third generation copy of a VHS video and definition is lost with each copy.
