My childhood hero.
Lewis Jones set many records, but my overwhelming memory of watching him was the way he was able to make the impossible appear both graceful and effortless.
Rest in peace Maestro.

My Dad's fave. Often compared him to Iestyn Harris, but with more pace.

One of the greatest players of his generation-like all great players make the hard stuff look easy and the impossible stuff possible.

My owd fella’s ( a born and bred Wiganer) favourite ever player. He could regale for hours about him. He must have been a sensational player.
He was obviously a humble guy too which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Lewis has a stand named after him at Gorseinon RFC.

I only saw him play once - in the 1961 final at Odsal . My grandmother bought me a ticket as a 12th birthday present. Not only a superb player but a great captain .
When I was coached by his fellow Welsh legend Trevor Foster, he was adamant that Lewis was the best back of that era.
Later in life I was a guest at the wedding of Derek Hallas’ daughter and he introduced me to Lewis . Derek was a teammate of Lewis at Leeds - Derek scored two tries in that final- and they remained close friends. When I met Lewis I was immediately made to feel at ease. A true gentleman. RIP.
