johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well today marks Shane Williams' last game for Wales and I'd like to thank him for some wonderful moments that will stay with me forever. Shane Williams 5' 6" 12st 8lbs...........A giant in all but stature. :notworthy: :notworthy: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 5' 6" that's about the average height for a Welshman In seriousness, he must be a tough little sod to go up against some of the giants in the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Never tire of watching him playing..........a lad who never forgot where he came from or how to conduct himself. A role model for thousands of youngsters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 He's the last of the old fashioned rugby players. Doubt we'll ever see his likes again in an age where size & strength is all important. Shane has a good old fashioned mix of speed and agility made all the more special for being able to mix it in the way the game is today. This sums it all up for me, high praise indeed from one Welsh legend to another - the great Barry John on Shane Williams! http://news.bbc.co.u...sh/15932058.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 f****n Mustard, thats what he was / is. Diolch brawd, o'r calon :notworthy: The times he saved our bacon on the field is beyond thanks. As a neath RFC and Ospreys fan, I have watched this man from the start of his carreer, legend is a big word, but for such a small man in stature it fits perfectly. Dymuniadau gorau am y dyfodol Shane, a diolch am yr holl blynyddau o arwain o'r blaen ar y cae a bant hefyd. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's a shame he didn't save his last game for England. Would have given you Welsh boys summat else to gloat about......................Thats if Wales could have overcome the mighty Red Rose that is. All the best to Shane Williams. :thumbs: Lets hope he takes our Jemery's place in the pundits seat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Not much of a game from a Welsh perspective, but cracking to see little Shane score his last try right at the death! I'm genuinely bleary eyed here now. Thank you Shane! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
