Wales and British and Irish Lions rugby legend JPR Williams has died at the age of 74. What a player!!
"JPR died peacefully today at the University Hospital of Wales surrounded by his loving wife and four children, after a short illness, bravely battling bacterial meningitis"
One of the greatest who will be sadly missed.
RIP JPR

I played a couple of (schoolboy) games at full back and I remember the sports master saying "your job is just to get hold of the ball and whack it in to touch"!
That was the job of a full back in those days, but JPR broke all the rules and turned that position into an extra attacker.
A marvellous player and, as so many of our sporting heroes now passed, a true gentleman of the game.
