JPR Williams



Used to love that Welsh side of the 1970s and as mentioned JPR was not only as hard as nails but also a brilliant player. This is one of the best passages of play I've ever seen with JPR finishing it in typical style.
RIP JPR.

Some legends there. Gareth Williams, jpr, David duck ham the side step king. How about that reverse pass from Williams.
 
I will always remember that picture of him after he had been stamped on and raked by an All Black when they played against Bridgend.

Found an article about that here.


JPR was hard as nails.
Remember watching that game with my mam. Couldn’t believe he had survived at the time… was only a bairn. But he got up face absolutely in bits. Went off… got his father to stick 35 stitches in his cheeks and came back on!!! Here’s the video…

What a legend. He was a top surgeon himself I think too…
