Lions legend Bobby Windsor has enjoyed triumphs beyond the dreams of most international players but has also suffered personal tragedy. His rugby career as the best hooker in the British Isles during the second golden era of Welsh rugby in the 1970s is a turbulent tale of blood & thunder on the pitch. There are riotous incidents off the pitch including unscheduled fights with professional boxers revelations about illegal payments during the so-called amateur era & what Windsor did to upset the Establishment & become blackballed by one of the most famous clubs in the world.
