Bobby Windsor

[3] A steelworker by trade, Windsor actually began his rugby union career as a back, playing at fullback and fly-half, but became famous as a hooker.

He played for Brynglas and Cross Keys before joining Pontypool where with Graham Price and Charlie Faulkner he became part of the legendary Pontypool Front Row, also known as the Viet Gwent (a play on Viet Cong) and immortalised in song by Max Boyce.

The Pontypool front row played for Wales as a unit 19 times during the 1970s, and were on the losing side in only four of those matches.

[4] He played in all the tests on the tour of South Africa in 1974, and helped the Lions forwards dominate the Springboks.

On the later tour of New Zealand in 1977 he played only in the first test and did not recapture his form in South Africa.
