Three Monmouthshire Legends Unite - A Cup of Tea and Tales of Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the Memory Lane Prints collection, we are transported back to October 1968, where three famous Monmouthshire men gather over a cup of tea. On the left stands John Mantle, a true trailblazer who made history when he signed for St Helens three years prior, commanding an astonishing £6,000 transfer fee - an unprecedented sum for a forward at that time. Next to him is David Watkins, whose move to Salford Rugby League club not only secured his place in sporting folklore but also enriched him by a staggering £16,000. His skill and determination on the field have earned him legendary status among rugby enthusiasts. Completing this trio of smiling faces is Malcolm Price, an ex-Pontypool and Wales centre who etched his name into the annals of rugby history with his record-breaking signature. Five years earlier, Oldham willingly parted with £8,000 to secure his services - a testament to Price's exceptional talent. As these remarkable individuals come together in conversation and camaraderie over steaming cups of tea, one can only imagine the stories they share from their illustrious careers. This photograph captures not just their physical presence but also their collective legacy as icons within the world of league rugby during the swinging sixties.
