Legends of Hilton Head Rugby-Bill Bryan

Bill Bryan played for Hilton Head from the mid 1970s until maybe 1979. He was a big tight forward from Ohio State who loved singing at parties as much as playing the game. While most of us remember him as a typical big guy of the time who’d walk or jog from one set piece to the next, Bill seems to be in almost every action shot of the time and he’s right with the ball. .... He took a big hit at a home game, his eyes were swimming and as we helped him up he uttered what I think is the most famous statement in Hilton Head Rugby history, “Who am I? Where am I? Give me a beer!” .... Bill moved to Charleston shortly after that and never played again. He died a few years ago. His obituary listed rugby as one of his great passions in life.

About RickyC

Started playing rugby as a freshman at Clemson in 1974. Came to Hilton Head after graduation in 1978 because my rugby heros, Ed Hughes and Paul Kyserling, played here. "Officially" retired in 2007, still available in a pinch, just don't tell Lynn.
