“I was part of a country which had rugby blood in its veins, and for a short time I was part of its national side which stretched out for the top and reached a pinnacle. I am thankful for that.” - Gareth Edwards
Ad/Lib Cymru are thrilled to bring this show to Brecon.
Sir Gareth Edwards is a Welsh former rugby union player who played scrum half and has been described by the BBC as "arguably the greatest player ever to don a Welsh jersey"
In 2003, in a poll of international rugby players conducted by Rugby World magazine, Edwards was declared the greatest player of all time. In 2007, former England player Will Carling published his list of the '50 Greatest Rugby players'and ranked Edwards the greatest player ever.
One of the most famous rugby quotes in the history of the game - uttered by the immortal Barry John to the peerless Gareth Edwards when the greatest half-back combination met up for the first time.
When Gareth asked the legendary Barry John, in their first ever training session together how his new partner would like the ball delivered Barry said, "You throw it, I'll catch it!"
We’ll hear of his early days in Gwaun Cae Gurwen, his 195 appearances for Cardiff RFC, his 53 caps for Wales and 10 appearances for The Lions as well as signing for Swansea Town FC at the age of 16.
This promises to be an evening to remember with so many stories and anecdotes from one of Wales’ greatest ambassadors.
Joining Gareth on stage and asking the questions will be his friend and former BBC/S4C rugby commentator Huw Llywelyn Davies.
There will also be a Q&A session in the second half.
