Tragic and a lovely bloke.

Real nice guy and I wish him a full recovery. As a fellow sufferer this disease doesn't care who you are,it can strike anytime.it's on the increase.

So sad to hear this news. He started up a very successful Industrial Painting and Cleaning business in the 1980's. My mate who was JJ's brother in law packed in his job to go into business with him.

I haven't seen either of them for many years, but JJ always came across as a great but straight talking man, something that didn't go down well in the corridors of the WRU!

A great all round sportsman, "The Welsh Whippet" a brilliant rugby winger with a superb turn of pace who represented Wales and the British Lions. He also represented Wales as a sprinter in the Commonwealth games, and was a Welsh sprint champion.

Get well soon John.

Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Elgan Rees lived on Pontardawe Road and Derek Bevan Lived on Capel Road. Didn't think JJ was anything to do with Clydach. Gareth Edwards was big mates with my dad and was always in Clydach :)

Really sad to read this. He taught me in the 70's (as a part time PE teacher) and was so encouraging with a young pupil who hated the mandatory rugby sessions. Quite the opposite of his brother I have to say, who was full time. I last saw JJ 10 odd years ago in the Ashoka Bridgend - he was saying he was running a painting business I think.

Get well soon JJ, and thanks again.

His son Rhys won a European Championship silver medal in the 400M hurdles, finishing 2nd to Dai Greene.

A real sporting family.

Peter (Botch), his brother, was my PE teacher through comp. He hated me solely based that he disliked my father where they often "disagreed" on the rugby field.

It was odd as I recently scanned old photos of my mother and in one of her old school photos of her final year of grammar school, JJ was directly behind her.

Rhys won European gold at the following championships.

His brother and sister also represented Wales in athletics. The girl (Kathryn I think) also won a couple of Welsh titles while with Swansea Harriers but Rhys and his brother both wore the Cardiff vest.

Often seen JJ at the Welsh Champs supporting his kids.

Get well soon of course, but by feck he's been a chopsy little herb for nearly 30 years.
Neil Jenkins, Gatland and Biggar in that time have quite rightly pulled him up on it.

Update:

I had an update on JJ yesterday:

John is having surgery next Thursday and feels a lot more positive after speaking to a Neuro Surgeon last Wednesday. He is expected to make a good recovery.

No doubt he will feel a lot better after this morning’s result in Japan!!

Sounds like he’s had a relapse if he’s feeling a lot better after his mornings result in Japan.
