England and British and Irish Lions legend, David Duckham.
Nooooo!
But then again meh.
What a player in his prime but the became a vapid after dinner speaker cashing in on the once lucrative corporate lunch scene in the 90s, which was an abortion of idea.
Still. On reflection, sad news.

Always sad when one of your rugby heroes goes.
I met him about 6-7 years ago at a sporting lunch along with Fitzy. Not the greatest of speakers as you say (unlike Fitzy), but chatting one of my rugby idols was great and his views on other players of that era was an experience I'll treasure.

Fuck, that one cuts deep.
No exaggeration, he was, as the article states, the Guitarists Guitarist, an absolutely wicked player. Not as well known as his contemporaries but he was so original and pretty much impossible to replicate.
I always thought he should have joined forces with Rod Stewart and whoever else and formed a band to rival all those 70s monsters and get the commercial success he deserved but then again he sounded like his own dude and happy to march to his own beat.
RIP to a true one of a kind.
