Special celebration! The magnificent Grand Slam victory by Wales brought back many memories of the 1978 great Grand Slam team. And that team included Geoff Wheel, who is now our Coors Account Manager at SA3, at the Mumbles Legion.
"Geoff Wheel was considered possibly the most powerful lock in the Five Nations tournament of his era. Rucks would rise up and down when he had his hands on the ball. One of the best Wales locks ever. With colleagues Allan Martin and Derek Quinnell, he made up the legendary front three which were feared throughout the rugby world."
Summer Parking Season Tickets now on sale, for 4 April 2005 onwards - see below, and ask at the Bar. Quiz
