Gutted. As already said, he was an even better human being than he was a Rugby player.
He delivered and installed the septic tank in the house I now live in just after he retired from rugby. My folks lived here then and were spellbound by this affable giant. There’s a photo of him stood on the top of it as it was craned into the hole. Thought about him and his life as I sat on the throne earlier, a tribute of which I’m sure he’d have approved!
The bravery and positivity he’s shown in later years is an inspiration.
