The details currently listed for Sammy Bryant are for an unrelated person. This person was living in Leichhardt when he was married in 1927, and in the Bankstown area during the 1930s (i.e., not Easts' district).

This article mentions that Sammy Bryant's real name was Percy. The player's correct details are: born 19 June 1904 in Auckland NZ, died 25 May 1988. Full name Percy James Anthony Bryant

Sammy's playing career was ended by a motorcycle crash in September 1933. He was awarded £250 in damages from the driver of the other vehicle in March 1934.

I have fixed this now and added a bit of a bio about the origin of the name Sammy & his accident.
