Description

Mr Windsor is scathing but not personally rude about today's calibre of players especially the much disempowered scrummage. He took some real stick from the opposition during games, but he was a gutsy man, a real hard player and a great player too.

The best laugh of all was one night when we had been out on the beer and there were some girls in the hotel when we got back and we ended up stripped off doing naked scrummaging down in the hotel foyer. Luckily, they phoned the caravan site in Tenby and spoke to the woman who owned the caravan next to ours.Then there was Willie John McBride on the Lions tour to South Africa in 1974 and everyone knows what a huge figure he was. Between 1973 and 1979, he was capped 28 times by Wales and he even scored a try on his debut for the team. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. A great book about a great player from a never to be forgotten era an ever-present over many long seasons.

It may sound like a followup to Gavin Henson’s television dating show The Bachelor, but rugby great Bobby Windsor, 66, is desperate to find love after experiencing a turbulent period where he fought depression, cancer and contemplated suicide. The book covers a lot of his personal life which adds to the book greatly and shows what a fascinating life he has had. Bobby Windsor was the hooker of the triumphant Wales team of the mid ‘70s and a key figure for the invincible Lions on the tour of South Africa in 1974.As one of Pontypool's most revered players during their golden era, he played an instrumental role in leading the team to numerous victories.

If someone with a good sense of humour wants the same thing as me, come on over and see how we get on. A friend who does my life insurance policy rang to make plans for a routine medical and they found a speck of blood in my water. The trio played together for Wales 19 times and also for the Lions in Fiji on 16 August 1977 (the day that Elvis died). FIFA's The Best awards row: Multiple voters 'made mistakes' with their votes - in a system that saw Lionel. Wolves fan who brazenly chanted 'f*** off West Brom' after sneaking into the home section before FA Cup.Windsor played 14 matches on that Tour, including the first Test, and scored his only Lions try in the match against New Zealand Juniors.

I actually played against Bobby Windsor w hen Pontypool toured Germany, and I still have the scars to prove it.
