Talk:Roy Francis (rugby)

DoB
Judging from his entry he must have been born in 1918 or 1919. Is he still alive? He must be knocking 95 or 96.--Doris Kami (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Born in Cardiff on 20 January, 1919; Died in Leeds in April, 1989 - according to this EdwardLane (talk) 11:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Welsh Sports Hall of Fame
Roy was added to the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame - his page - no mention of that on the page and still no photo available (under a suitable licence) that I can find - seems a pity so i'm adding a photoreq tag EdwardLane (talk) 11:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Full Name - is there an L ?
This diff seems to have added an L to the front of Roy Francis' name - I don't see the L mentioned anywhere in the reliable sources. The editor in question is alas deceased so I can't ask for the source, I'm going to 'boldly' remove it for now - but if anyone knows the source of the L (and what it stood for) that would be worth fixing.

Another source
There’s another in-depth article about the man on the BBC website today. I’ll drop it here in case anyone wants to work into the article:
