Steve Fenwick once recalled how JPR Williams used to approach him during matches and send a few words his way.
“When we were playing for Bridgend, he would come up behind me and say: ‘Hey, Steve, you and I are going to have to change the direction of this game.’ You would go ‘eh?’, but he meant it. It was like Roy of the Rovers.”
The surprise there was that John Peter Rhys Williams felt he needed any help in changing the direction of any match. Often, he seemed quite happy to get on with that particular job on his own, and more often than not he succeeded.
