Welsh Rugby Union player.
Edwards, considered to be among the greatest rugby players, played scrum half on the great Welsh sides that won the Five Nations Championship 11 times in 16 seasons between 1964 and 1978. He played 53 tests for Wales and 10 for the British Lions (1967–78). Amazingly for a half scrum, he scored 20 tries for Wales.
