Thanks DaveW, we are all deeply saddened by this, the word legend is throwen around far too much now but Grav is a living legend, 100%, no bones about it.
Ray Gravell is Llanelli and Llanelli is Ray Gravell. The two are inseperable.

We will be taking banners and all sorts up to Leicester wishing him well, if you see alot of Scarlet Fans wearing red gloves then this is the reason why, in tribute to Grav, Welsh rugby personified.

Get Well soon Grav!
Scarlets Vs. Leicester ......Bring it on.

I am sure that in the same sprit he showed as a player he will bear this latest setback with pragmatic accepttence.

Not sure I could.

Our thoughts are with him.

it is very sad, but not the end of the world. as a physio, ive seen lots of amputee patients, and practically 100% do super. im sure a man of his stature will launch himself into rehab with vigour!

There was this gag when Grav played that he was a good guy to share a box of chocolates with......He ate soft centres!

I wish him all the best, one of the best rugby storytellers I've heard!
