England winger of the early professional era whose flamboyant running style, remarkable balance and brilliance against the New Zealand All Blacks made him one of the most thrilling backs English rugby has produced.
David Duckham was one of England's most exciting backs of the 1970s, a graceful and elusive winger who produced some of the most memorable performances in Lions history in New Zealand in 1971. Known for his exceptional running lines, pace, and natural instinct for the game, Duckham's tries on that tour remain among the most celebrated by a British player in New Zealand.
