Ah, who could forget that legendary Welsh side that won the Grand Slam four times in the 70s:
Williams (1) Williams (2) Williams (3)
Williams (4) Williams (5)
Williams (capt) (6) Williams (7)
Williams (8)
Williams (9)
Williams (11) Williams (12) Williams (10) Jones (13) Williams (14)
Williams (15)
And that game against Lichtenstein where Jones broke his leg and was replaced by Williams.

Just around a week ago I read about him in the news, he moved to live on some royal place with his son and his son's two daughters. Both he and his son were divorced. Silvia looks pretty rough in the new photos, we'll probably soon see more losses because both the queen's and the king's siblings are aging and most of them aren't very healthy. Also, there's Marianne Bernadotte.
Richard Adjei, who won a silver medal in two-man bobsled at the 2010 Olympics, has died. He was 37. No cause of death was given.
