On one of the Lion's tours he approached the management with an idea to save money by him doubling up as the team doctor. When the other players found out they made it clear that it was unacceptable to them. On the grounds that JPR had no grasp of the concept of pain.

I had the pleasure of having a coffee in the Swan pub in Llantwit Major and Mr JPR sat next to me, he was chatting away and I mentioned rugby and he said I used to play in my younger days. He was so humble and didnt big himself up, he just smiled at me and my son and was a gentleman. Very few men like him and this is a big loss to his family and our Nation will mourn. God bless you and your family sir.

For a number of months I had the pleasure and honour of his company having a few lunchtime drinks in the vale of Glamorgan inn, cowbridge on Mondays and Tuesdays. A real gentleman

JPR was the toughest S.O.B. to ever pull on a rugby jersey!! He anchored that legendary Welsh 15, & gave them the confidence to know not much would get past him!!

Yeah he taught at Llantarnam while he played for Pontypool in the 70's I think. I was at Fairwater in the 80's after he retired from playing and became more of a coach and selector.@@barrygreen122

Terry Cobnor was my rugby coach in Llantarnam Comprehensive and Gwent schools team hard as nails, Blaenavon born and a total legend for pontypool never got the praise but he was just as good as the main icons of welsh rugby a british lion too plus Bobby Windsor off Garndiffaith brilliant player as well.

Terry Cobner, one of the most loyal and brilliant club captains (for Pontypool) ever produced by Wales. Skipper for over a decade without a break. One of the toughest, quickest, hardest forwards of the seventies era. Oh, and one of the funniest, wittiest, kindest and nicest men you could ever wish to meet. He also captained Gwent, Wales and the Lions.

John Cobner (Terry's brother), was my P E Master at Falmouth School from 1972-1974. I got expelled for continually fighting the English boys who were at school there. They had 'attitude' with us lot. Mr Cobner was hard but fair.

@@ninianpark1329 cheers Ninian. You could well be right. Ironic though, that the real Kernew is the slip of land between Cardiff and Newport and some historians feel the naming of Cornwall as Kernew, which didn’t happen until the 19th century, came about because they misinterpreted that slip of Welsh land, Kernew, as meaning Cornwall! Near Bassaleg, you still drive past the Coed Kernew roundabout.

I wondered why this video popped up. Looked at Wikipedia and found out he had died. His death didn't appear on any of my news feeds. Beckenbauer, now JPR. Charlton not so long ago. The great sportsmen are disappearing quickly.
