Bryan Fowler

Bryan John Fowler (18 August 1898 to 4 December 1987) was an Irish polo player who competed for Great Britain in the 1936 Summer Olympics. He was born in Kells, Ireland, and was part of the British polo team that won the silver medal, playing both matches of the tournament, the first against Mexico and the final against Argentina. His son John was a jockey and racehorse trainer, and his daughter Jessica Harrington is also a racehorse trainer. Fowler died in Enfield, Ireland, in 1987 at the age of 89. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and the Olympic silver of 1936 is the result for which he is recorded.
