Talk about legend
First Rugby League player to be knighted after 130 years
Class or what !
What a man
What a player
Shameful ignored by Welsh rugby especially his home town Cardiff because of racism in genuine form
Told he’d never play for Wales as was the case with other Cardiff mixed race players , like Dixon and Freeman
He always regretted not being able to wear a Welsh jersey
And how Wales missed him

I believe he has a statue outside Wembley one in Cardiff & one in Wigan.
Some accolade.

I worked with his Granddaughter about 25 years ago whilst in Wigan, I also worked in Poolstock Lane where the great Roberto Martinez lived whilst playing for the Pie Eaters |  | | |
