Seen him at games a couple of times over the years. He has been known to turn up at our school back in the day- we got free tix from the Scarlets and they are the local region - no airs or graces, just a regular jovial chap who everyone liked.
RIP.

Sad news. One of those rare sporting talents who became a household name outside his sport, very hard in those days with only 3 TV channels and no social media.
