Re: RIP Bleddyn
Such sad news, will be much missed. Condolences to family & Friends
Re: RIP Bleddyn
So very sad to hear of this. He was the voice of Leicester rugby for as long as I can remember. As said above, Tigers' commentary will never be the same again.
Re: RIP Bleddyn
I am really saddened to learn of Bleddyn's passing. A fine player in his day and a lovely bloke.
Who can forget his well told stories and his efforts to pronounce the difficult names.
"You try and pronounce a few long Welsh names" he often retorted!.
Deepest sympathy to his family,

Very saddened at this news. Condolences to his family.
A Welsh voice that often was the only way of getting news of Tigers matches whilst in exile in Wales. Leicester Tigers' version of Bill McClaren and Murray Walker all rolled into one. Sad day indeed.

Re: RIP Bleddyn
Condolences to his family, I met him last just before the Heineken Cup final in Edinburgh, lovely man who really was a credit to the game which he clearly loved with passion.

Sad passing of a lovely man. Always had time for a chat when visiting the Drogs bar in the old Members Stand. His partnership with Steve Johnson on the radio will be long remembers and my condolences go out to his family and close friends.
