John Bevan (rugby union)

John Bevan (rugby union)

John David Bevan (12 March 1948 - 5 June 1986), was a Welsh international Rugby Union player, one of two John Bevans who played for Wales during the 1970s. Bevan played for Aberavon RFC at fly half before being capped three times for Wales in 1975. He was injured during the game against Scotland, was replaced by Phil Bennett and never played for Wales again.

Bevan, a schoolteacher, toured New Zealand with the British Lions on their 1977 tour but did not play in any of the internationals against the All Blacks. He later coached the Wales national side from 1982 to 1985, but was forced to retire on the grounds of ill health. He died of cancer.
