I remember watching New Zealand in England in 1973 and Bevan's back to back centuries 176 & 175. I was only nine and these were the first Test matches I saw.
A gutsy, courageous cricketer. RIP.
Condolences to all the family.

So sorry to hear of Bevan Congdons passing. As a kid he was my favourite cricketer anywhere. I can remember being at Eden Park and taking photos as he and others came off the field. I still have those photos. Great memories. Condolences to family.

Please accept our condolences on the passing of Bevan.
We are just indexing some Motueka Golden Bay newspapers from the 1970's and Bevan features not only in the cricketing pages but also his face shines out in a wee advert. for Life Insurance.
