Robert Wyman
James Robert Wyman (April 24, 1909 – 1978), also known as Bob Wyman, was an ice hockey player who played in Great Britain. He also played for the Great Britain national ice hockey team which won the gold medal at the 1936 Winter Olympics (see Ice hockey at the 1936 Winter Olympics). He is a member of the British Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.
Wyman was also a successful schoolboy athlete, becoming the English schoolboy long jump champion when he was 15-years-old, and speed skater, having held the British indoor half mile record and then winning the 440 yards outdoor crown in January 1934 — a feat which earned a Gallaher cigarette card.
During World War II, Wyman served with the Royal Navy and reached the rank of Lieutenant-Commander.

Famous quotes containing the word wyman:
““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””
