Raymond Brock

Raymond Slater Brock (14 October 1936 – 1 January 2008) was a leading English bridge player and then a long-time administrator.

While living there he played seven matches[clarification needed] for Scotland; three times during that span the team won the Camrose Trophy, for which England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete (subsequently Ireland too).

He was twice President of the British Bridge League and was non-playing captain of many Great Britain teams, including the bronze medal winning Women in the 1980 World Team Olympiad and the gold medal winning Juniors at the 1989 World Championships.

He did much coaching of the best young players, and in 1994 was non-playing captain of the British Junior team that won the European Championships and went on to win the World title the following year.

His vacations during this time were spent at Monte Carlo playing bridge with the likes of Omar Sharif.
