When l was married, my husband loved watching the Rugby on television. He would shout and cheer, or screw up a cigarette packet in disgust if his team were losing.
Occasionally, I watched it too and l remember Barry John. He was a fast player and usually the hero of the team. He seemed very grounded and not a bighead like some sports people.
I was a bit shocked to read that he had died, as another great Rugby player that l remember, JPR Williams also died a few weeks ago.
