JJ Williams (72) Wales & British Lions Wing.
One of the stars of the unbeaten South African tour of 1974. Any footage normally shows JJ sprinting away towards the try line kicking up dust on the dry ground. Electrifying pace.

Yes, the best exponent of the "kick ahead and give chase" try I've seen. South Africa's hard grounds were ideal for him.

I’ve been watching Bobby Ball in the comedy Not Going Out with Lee Mack in recent years, shocked to hear today’s news as he was in fine form in that show.

Sad day. Never forget him dancing around Wembley wearing a happy, toothless grin and waving the World Cup. RIP, Nobby.
