"Dr Jack" was a true sporting legend and a Gentleman! I am great friends with his son Peter and visited Jack with him last week. In the end his passing was a blessed release after a long suffering illness.
Aside from his truly legendary status as a rugby player Jack fought future World Champion Rocky Marciano whilst he was in the forces during the war and held him to a draw. He was also an outstanding sprinter.
May he rest in peace!
