WALES 1947 JERSEY - BLEDDYN WILLIAMS - (22 caps, 1st cap v England 1947, last cap v England 1955) -
Bleddyn Williams was captain of the last Welsh team to beat the All Blacks in 1953, he also captained Cardiff in their victory against the same All Blacks side and 3 times
led the 1950 British Lions in tests on their tour of Australia & NZ. He was an elusive runner and scored 7 tries for Wales including one against the 1951 Springboks.
This jersey was worn in the 1947 match for Wales against the touring
Australian Wallabies and exchanged post match with Bleddyn's opposite centre
Max Howell. Max took it back to Australia and years later framed it.
Unfortunately it's seen a bit too much sun and the front is faded, the letter
'C' on the reverse too has faded. Bleddyn Williams jerseys are extremely rare,
several we believe perished in a fire at the Taff's Well clubhouse. Max Howell
went on to write over 50 books including "The Wallabies, The definitive
history of Australian Test Rugby". He was awarded the 'Order of
Australia' for service to education as a pioneer in the development of sports
studies and sports science as academic disciplines, both in Australia and
overseas and to the study of sports history.
