JPR Williams

And on Monday night JPR Williams joined the ranks.

He was one of those sporstpeople whose surname became superfluous. If you said JPR everyone knew who you were talking about.

Flamboyant, distinctive with his trade mark sideburns, like Franz Beckenbauer in football he also redefined his position of full back in his sport, rugby union.

His record is astonishing, both with Wales and the British & Irish Lions.

John Peter Rhys Williams: 2/3/1949 – 8 /1/2024. So it goes.
