Ah, the late great Surgeon, athlete and real gentleman and scholar..Mr( and Dr). J.P.R.Williams… one of the truely great sportsmen of the world when one could play rugby at the highest level part-time. What a human🙏

A truly remarkable man who continued playing rugby for his local club third team well into his 50's. A titan of world rugby, now sadly gone. RIP JPR!

Not only a great rugby player, but also a brilliant consultant orthopaedic surgeon as well. What a guy.

So sad to hear that JPR Williams has passed away, what a brilliant and fearless rugby player. Of the men who created that famous try, we have lost Phil Bennett, JPR Williams, John Pullin, and John Dawes. Rest in peace gentleman.

And also lost someone who would surely have been one of the creators if he hadn't retired prematurely the year before, the late and great Barry John. Can you imagine merging Barry John and Phil Bennett for that game?!!!

@pauldurkee4764 3 ай бұрын

@@starmersbarber Not to mention David Duckham who has also left us with wonderful memories. Bennett and John would be considered far too small for rugby today, that is the sadness of it.

@@pauldurkee4764 Aye...I also acknowledge the late great David Duckham. It was David and Phil Bennett who got me into sidesteps when I was just a wee nipper. Both demonstrated sidestepping mastery during that game. Barry John was just before my time. As someone once commented "he could swerve past you in a phone box". It looked to be all in the hips. I recently saw his try v England in 1969 from behind the line. A total work of art.

JPR still wearing his mutton chops in 2019. One of the best fullbacks of all time.

@stuartwilliams6467 10 ай бұрын

One of the all time greats and an even better person. I played a lot of tennis with him and actually lost to him 7-5 6-4 in the greatest match I ever played in. It took 3 hours to play those two sets, and no matter what I threw at him the ball just kept coming back. I am pretty sure he could have been a really good professional tennis player. Maybe not the best in the world, but certainly a great player.

An anaesthetist I worked with, retired just before covid, told me he was at Med School with JPR. I asked him if he'd played rugby with JPR. He replied "...well, you definitely didn't want to play against him...".

I was lucky to watch wales when they toured Australia in 1978 and played Queensland and Australia at Ballymore in Brisbane. I was 12 years old.....there was an aura about the Welsh side, contained new player Terry Holmes, Gareth Davies and ofcourse, pontypool front row , Alan Martin and other 70's greats. Not much rugby played, Australia intent on playing very physical game. But great aura about the Welsh side, cool and classy.

Love in it! Still sporting the sides!! Great player as was the team. And I'm not Welsh or a Rugby fan but just remembered them from my childhood.

In the 60s they used to have kids starter sessions on the odd Sunday at ODP once per year. I recall being hoisted out of a pile of bodies hands under my armpits by that man. As I got older I did eventually learn how to play the game, but I was a bit of a slow starter! I got a mild bollocking from Merv for something once too. Cant remember how that came about. All the players at that time were as accessible as anyone else, to anyone at LW at that time. There was no us and them culture.

As hard a player as I've ever seen but if an opponent went down injured Williams would be there to offer his medical training.

Jpr great player but what does he mean by television had only just come out? 🤔 In 1973 I didn't know one family that didn't have a TV set. Also it WAS transmitted in colour as you'll see on KZfaq highlights. The 50s decade that he grew up in, not many did.

…perhaps every else household in Wales didn’t have a TV then
