I met Dewi at Eastney Barracks when we were both Marines. We were in the same Barrack Room although I did not follow RU I used to help him clean his Boots on Sunday Mornings after playing for United Services. I remember him as a good, intelligant man with a great sense of humour and very proud of being a Welshman. Sorry to learn you died so young Royal

My abiding memory of Dewi Bebb is his scoring exploits against England, particularly the two tries he scored in 1961. A photo image of one of those tries became an icon of Welsh rugby and BBC Wales Sport for many years; Dewi reaching out in horizontal mode for the try-line, as a despairing tackle proved unable to halt his scoring dive. The ball held in both hands, secure in spite of its greasy condition and a look in his eyes that was the essence of concentration. In the background, the futile figure of Dickie Jeeps, forlornly, far to late and too far away to affect the outcome, attempting to corner-flag. As an image it must have determined many young boys in Wales to want to play in no other position than left wing-threequarter.

Dewi Bebb - what a lovely man he was. I can just remember him playing for Wales. We paid closer attention than most in our house as my sister was a pupil at the school he taught at in Fairwater, Waterhall (later part of Cantonian H.S.) She has memories of Dewi "tanking round the gym," one of the many players back then who held down demanding full-time jobs, yet still managed to train and turn out for their club and country at the weekends. I met him, aged about 9 or 10, when I was at the TV studios in Pontcanna, Cardiff. He took the time to talk to each child out of a group of ten or so children, and was interested in each of us. Wil Bebb, good luck with your rugby career. Although your Tad-cu isn't with us anymore, I'm sure he would be just as proud of you as you are of him.

I grew up in South Africa. My mother was a Bebb and Dewi's cousin. I met him as a young kid when he toured South Africa (Durban) in 1966. He was very warm person and friendly. Obviously, he was my hero at the time and the fact that he and I were related was a point of envy for my school friends at the time. Of course rugby was and still is one of my passions and I can still remember the day I met Dewi as a young kid.

I remember Dewi very well, being in Friars School Bangor, together. We both played in the form 1 and form 2 soccer teams. He was a fine footballer before taking up rugby. We were also in the same house teams whilst at Friars. Dewi was also a fine athlete, in fact an all round sportsman. Unfortunately after leaving Friars we lost contact. A gentleman,who I am sure is sadly missed by his family and friends.

We played together in the Royal Marines when, strange as it may see, as I was going nowhere, he played left centre and I was his winger. Also with us at the time was Gordon Waddell.

We lived in the same road. I was too young at the time to appreciate what he was doing for Welsh rugby when he played for Wales but I know my parents were impressed. Great to see him remembered in this way, sorry he died so young. I was a great friend of his brother Ifan.
