Chico Hopkins

Ray "Chico" Hopkins (born 8 July 1946)[1] is a Welsh former international rugby player who was also a member of the British Lions.

Later, he played for the senior Maesteg team,[2] Wales, British and Irish Lions and Llanelli RFC.

The Scarlets side emerged 9-3 winners of what was a bruising, brutal encounter at a packed Stradey Park with 20,000 supporters.

In 1972 Hopkins joined Swinton RLFC (rugby league), making his debut against Huyton on 3 December that year.

[3] Although he played only 20 minutes for the full international Wales team, Hopkins earned lasting fame in Welsh rugby history due to a notable try against England in 1970.
