Very sad news about his passing. A Coventry sporting icon who deserves wider recognition than from the world of rugby.
Certainly one of the best outside or inside backs ever, but even he bowed to his predecessor Peter Jackson. That man could turn defenders inside out with his step.He was one of the best English rugby players of all time some say THE best just a bit early for the World Cup glory era.
Thatcher !!!That’s true. Down in no small part to the incredible network of sports clubs and societies associated to the vast industries across the City plus people from all across the country and world moving here. I think we all know what happened next.

City of Sport - all down to the council.Throughout the 60s & 70s we had the best rugby team in the country, the best speedway team, in Godiva Harriers one of the best athletic clubs in the country and swimming club, where did it all go wrong.
I’ve often thought that as a kid growing up in Cov late sixties and early seventies. At the time i was probably too young to appreciate how good our local sports teams were. My mate reckons as regards the rugby we got left behind when teams turned professional and we stayed as an amateur rugby club.Throughout the 60s & 70s we had the best rugby team in the country, the best speedway team, in Godiva Harriers one of the best athletic clubs in the country and swimming club, where did it all go wrong.
Same! My Dad played for Nuneaton first team in the 70s. Loved David Duckham! RIPMy Dads favourite ever
Really?? That is a disgrace considering I read an article about him on the main BBC sport page earlier.My hero too. I remember as a boy running on to the pitch at Coundon Road to get his autograph.
I can't find any mention of this on the Cov Tel website. Absolutely disgraceful.
That’s a whole different story, Cov refused to accept professional rugby, mind you the financial state the sport is now at top level makes you wonder if they had a point.I’ve often thought that as a kid growing up in Cov late sixties and early seventies.

You'll struggle to find an article concerning Cov, never mind Dai. Yet they still have a Wasps header.Really?? That is a disgrace considering I read an article about him on the main BBC sport page earlier.
