Few rugby players have matched the achievements of Welshman Mervyn Davies, the shrewd, gutsy number 8 with the heart of a lion. In what was a remarkable career, he won 2 Grand Slams, 3 Triple Crowns, earned 38 consecutive Wales caps, was captain of his national team, and played in 2 victorious Lions tours. From the tail end of the 1960s through the first half of the glorious '70s period, "Merv the Swerve" cut an iconic figure in the world's great rugby arenas. Teammates and opponents respected him, fans loved him, and he was a natural leader of men both on and off the field.
