I know we aren't much of a rugby loving forum but I remember JPR being on the telly when I was younger.
This story tells of what a man he was. RIP Jpr.

Doctor John one of the last amateur superstar sportsmen. Played for the love of the game.

Involved in probably the greatest try of all time.. Phil Bennett, JPR Williams, John Pullin, John Dawes, Tom David, Derek Quinnell and Gareth Edwards

RIP JPR Williams

I saw his last game for London Welsh in 1975 (I think) at the Middlesex Sevens at Twickenham before he joined Bridgend. He was part of the Wales team that was just wonderful to watch. They'd have won at least one World Cup. If I remember correctly Loughborough Colleges won the Middlesex Sevens that year

A great rugby player, part of one of the greatest rugby teams of all time and part of the greatest try of all time.

Another legend goes

Another one who hasn't much time for rugby, but who remembers players like JPR and Phil Bennett and Gareth Edwards with pleasure.

For a large part of the 60s I shared a flat in Putney with a rugby-mad Welshman who later was pressed into service as my best man. We used to share sporting occasions, some weeks we'd go to football at Chelsea or Fulham, others we'd go to Rosslyn Park.
