The autobiography of Welsh rugby legend, J. J. Williams. Teacher by profession who had been the schoolboy sprint champion of Great Britain, J.J. wasted no time harnessing that searing pace to his innate footballing skills. It propelled him beyond merely winning Grand Slams for his country to a starring role in the most successful tour ever undertaken by the best of Britain of Ireland. Hunangofiant y chwaraewr rygbi chwedlonol, J. J. Williams. Yn athro wrth ei alwedigaeth, bu'n bencampwr can medr Prydain yn ystod dyddiau ysgol, cyn sianelu ei gyflymder eithriadol ar y cae rygbi. Bu'n aelod o garfan Cymru a enillodd y 'Grand Slam' ar fwy nag un achlysur ac yn aelod o daith fwyaf llwyddiannus erioed tim y Llewod. The autobiography of Welsh rugby legend, J.J. Williams. Teacher by profession who had been the schoolboy sprint champion of Great Britain, J.J. wasted no time harnessing that searing pace to his innate footballing skills. It propelled him beyond merely winning Grand Slams for his country to a starring role in the most successful tour ever undertaken by the best of Britain of Ireland. As a Lion during the invincible trek round South Africa in 1974, J.J. accomplished a feat which had never been done before or since. He scored four tries in the four-Test series and earned the undying admiration of the Republics political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, then incarcerated on Robben Island. Yet no sooner had J.J. been feted the length and breadth of Wales than he began falling foul of Rugby Unions archaic laws on amateurism. No matter how ludicrous it may sound now, the Welsh Rugby Union threatened to ban him twice at the height of his career. In this book J.J. reveals all, from his own controversial and outstanding career, his views on the present state of Welsh rugby and the pain he and his family went through when his son, Rhys was banned from the Commonwealth Games in 2014.… (más)
