Coincidentally, the next clip is of boxer Joe Erskine, another Welshman who went on to become British Heavyweight Champion before losing his title to Brian London.
He later challenged Henry Cooper after he became champion. Cooper almost killed him!!

My wife bought me the book about Billy Boston and I'm making my way through it - great read.
She - my wife - also bought me Simply Rad and had it read in 2 days it was so good she said.
I'll enjoy watching these tries - he had a great time in the Army scoring tries!
