Eric Dench

Eric Dench (1855- 19 May 1889) was a famous Brunanter bullfighter. Dench, born in Carrington, was highly popular in the city and was somewhat of a celebrity. He managed over sixty kills in a career from 1876 to his death. He died at the Carrington Bullring in May 1889; he killed his first bull before having his hose gored and eventually being killed by the bull Caspian. Dench was known for taunting his bulls and may have gotten too confident.

Dench was married in 1880 and had a son.
