Yes. He and John Hutchinson played on opposite wings, I think - Bernie on the right - when I was supporting Wealdstone in the early ‘sixties. Both switched to Wycombe around the same time as I did (1967/68 if I remember correctly) following Wealdstone’s decision to become semi-professional and join the Southern League.
Bernie Bremer was an aesthetically pleasing player. Quite a languid style but tricky and deceptively quick. Loved watching him bearing down on the goal in front of the back wall of the cinema that backed on to the ground. Stood behind that goal at least a hundred times.
it was a great privilege to support Wealdstone at that time - the ground was about a ten minute stroll from the flat which I shared with four other twenty somethings - and the Amateur Cup Final victory over Hendon at Wembley in April 1966 was one of many highlights. Eddie Dilsworth was the first black player I remember playing at that level. Totally politically incorrect now, I suppose, but I was tickled at the time when, at a training session in semi-darkness under just a couple of floodlights, a waggish cockney player shouted out “smile Eddie, we can’t see ya”.
Eddie became a fans’ favourite but, strangely, I don’t recall what happened at the match at Loakes Park referred to towards the end of the article linked below.

Dion Dublin played for Wycombe I believe
He did indeed, in the Loakes Park days
For
Phoenix Patterson was a Wycombe youth player
Derek Duncan was on our books but didn't make a single appearance!
Surprised at the lack of a TT
According to 11v11.com we had a H. Hind playing for us in 1898, definitely needs verification.
Derek made a number of appearances over two seasons.
@Twizz, I can't find any trace of this player, he's not in Dave Finch's master list of first team players.
Hard Cheese! Never made a first team appearance old boy.
at a stretch

Some more 'for'.
Phil Patrick 22 apps 1962-64.
