Rugby mourns death of Ray Gravell


Friends and former team-mates say Gravell was one of a kind

Tributes from the world of rugby have been paid to former Wales centre Ray Gravell, who has died aged 56.

Wales great Gareth Edwards said: "It's a very sad day but when I look back and think of Ray Gravell I'll remember the joy and immense pleasure he gave us."

Former Wales and Llanelli team-mate JJ Williams added: "He was certainly one of the best centres I played with. Around 1975-76 no-one could handle him.

"He deserves all the accolades he'll get over the next few days."
