Haydn Bunton Sr., triple Brownlow and Sandover medalist, said of Allan Reval that "Of the South Australians played against, two stand out. As far as I am concerned— 'Bull' Reval and Bob Quinn. I never saw Reval play anything but well against Victoria. He was a beauty."{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article56067206 |title=Quinn and Reval among "really great players" |newspaper=The Mail (Adelaide) |volume=40 |issue=1,992 |location=South Australia |date=5 August 1950 |access-date=12 December 2016 |page=2 (SUNDAY MAGAZINE) |via=National Library of Australia}}
