Peter Bryan

Peter Bryan, age 77, of Laughlin, Nevada passed away on Thursday, September 23, 2021. He was born April 30, 1944 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire England to his parents Eric Joseph Bryan and Eileen Mary Peak. He signed his first professional contract with Oxford United at the age of 17, before he was persuaded to make the move to Waterford where he spent a decade at the club, winning five League of Ireland medals. Peter also invested in business in Waterford during his time in the city when he set up the Waterford Athletics Sports Store on Peter Street.

Bryan was recognized by the League of Ireland for his performances in the early 1970’s, before he left Waterford for the United States. He landed a job as a player-coach of the New York Apollo in the ASL back in 1977 before signing a three-year-deal with the Los Angeles Skyhawks only for that club to fold a year later.

After his playing career ended, Peter set up an insurance company in America, where he operated a major operation.

Peter is survived by his wife Breda, son David, daughter Suzanne, granddaughter Sarah, extended family and friends. May he rest in peace.
