Wales and British and Irish Lions rugby legend JPR Williams has died on the age of 74.
The former London Welsh, Bridgend and Barbarians full-back was synonymous with Wales and the Lions’ glories of the Seventies.
Williams captained Wales and Bridgend, profitable 55 caps for his nation.
During historic triumphant Lions excursions to New Zealand in 1971 and 1974 in South Africa, Williams gathered eight Test caps.
Williams’ passing was introduced by Bridgend Ravens – previously generally known as Bridgend – on social media.
“Bridgend Ravens are devastated to announce the passing of JPR Williams,” they stated.
“One of Bridgend’s most decorated-players and an icon of world rugby, JPR served the club most recently as club president. Our thoughts are with JPR’s family and friends at this sad time.”
