Wales and Lions wing whose electrifying side-step, exceptional pace and instinctive finishing made him one of the most dangerous and explosive backs in the history of international rugby.

Gerald Davies was Wales's brilliant winger of the 1970s, a natural finisher with exceptional pace and sidestep who scored 20 tries in 46 international appearances. A member of two Lions squads, Davies was one of the finest wingers of his era, capable of scoring from impossible positions with his devastating change of direction. A later career switch from centre to wing proved inspired.
