Item Number: 5659
This superb item of Wales Rugby Memorabilia is a presentation celebrating three players who can genuinely be classed as legends of World Rugby. It displays a Wales shirt signed by JPR Williams, Gareth Edwards and Phil Bennett with 3 action photos of the players mounted at the bottom of the frame. It is presented in a stunning black frame with dual mounts, measuring in at an impressive 97cm (38) by 67cm (26). There are two plaques that read as follows: Left Plaque - Gareth Edwards CBE - Probably the greatest player ever to wear the famous jersey - He won 52 caps for Wales between 1967 and 1978, winning 7 Five Nations including 3 Grand Slams. In 2003 he was voted the greatest player of all time. He toured with the Lions on the famous 1971 and 1974 tours. - Phil Bennett - His flair and range of tricks, including his famous sidestep and swerve, meant he was a firm favourite with crowds. He won 29 caps for Wales between 1969 and 1978. He will always be remembered for his part in the greatest try of all time for the Barbarians against the All Blacks in 1973, when he side-stepped four players. He toured with the Lions on the 1974 and 1977 tours. . Right Plaque - JPR Williams MBE FRCS - JPR was a key player in a Welsh side that won Grand Slams in 1971, 1976, and 1978, and is particularly remembered for his record against England. In 10 tests between Wales and England he scored five tries - exceptional for a fullback - and was never on the losing side. - He was also outstanding for the Lions, winning the 1971 series against New Zealand with a long-range drop-goal and playing a major role in the 1974 'invincible' series against South Africa. He played 55 times for Wales between 1969 and 1981. - Special edition presentation signed by the three Welsh legends. Part of a private signing, the shirt is presented in excellent condition and will be supplied with photos of the players signing. A fantastic item to remember three giants of the game and which would make a great gift!
