One of the greats, and one that could be truly called a great.

Legend. RIP

Damn, another one from that great era gone too soon.

Forget about the try! What the actual fuck is that Kiwi hooker doing to get the ball into the lineout?? Bowling a Googly?

My dad went to school with him and played in the same team as him and I knew him and his brother.
Greatest patron of his local club Nantyffyllon.
RIP

RIP.
One of the greats..

That wasn't a hooker throwing in, it was Bryan Williams - another legendary winger from back in the day.

Oh no! RIP. Gloriously brilliant player.

A very gifted player and athlete.
RIP JJ.

Bloody hell, Farrell was a shit fullback.
Regarding JJ Williams, I tended to see him as a bloody good player but not in the same league as guys like Duckham or Gerald Davies.

Cheers. He's forgiven.

weird fact: A Williams dies in Wales every day

A truly Great player - far too young to pass away. RIP

RIP. I grew up watching that great Welsh back line, and he was one of the great finishers.

One of the names that made me fall in love with rugby. Before my time really but from the 101 Great Trys video

Bloody hell just read that his brother Peter "Botch" died a few days ago as well.

Shit, I can remember having beers with them both with my Dad.Sat below JJ's Lions pic.
Local legend to me
