He was a Welshman with a touch of Richard Burton and Dylan Thomas..........a good but not great player but someone whose company was always enjoyable
I met him a few times most recently last September at Caldy RFC

I was a contemporary of his at Cambridge, where he was at Fitzwilliam with Alastair Hignell. At the risk of being self absorbed, this news has come on my 65th birthday.
A sobering thought. Condolences to all those affected by this sad news.

Always enjoyed his television commentary knowing it came from someone who had played - even though he was Welsh 😂🏴 RIP
