Jack Matthews (rugby player)
Jack Matthews, OBE (21 June 1920 – 18 July 2012) was a Welsh physician and rugby union international centre〔http://www.wru.co.uk/12750_14256.php?player=26140&includeref=dynamic〕 who played first-class club rugby for Cardiff and Newport. Along with Bleddyn Williams, Matthews formed a centre partnership which is regarded as one of the finest in the game. He was also a devastating tackler, once described as “a cross between a bulldozer and a brick wall”.
Matthews won 17 caps for Wales and six with the British Lions, though his career was curtailed by the Second World War. Matthews was a general practitioner by profession and travelled with the 1980 Lions on their tour of South Africa as the team doctor.
==Early history==
Born in Bridgend, South Wales in 1920, Matthews attended Bridgend County School before matriculating to the Welsh National School of Medicine. From a youth he was a keen sportsperson, and in 1937 he won the Welsh AAA junior 220 yards title.〔Hignal (2007) p.112〕 A year later, after spending three seasons in the Welsh Secondary Schools rugby team, he played in a senior Wales trail, at just eighteen years old. In 1939 he came second in the Senior Men's AAA 100 yards and third in the 220 yards.〔
