From Brian French: Very sorry to hear of Russell’s passing. He was always a 100%er on the rugby field.RIP
From ‘Henry’ Fielding: Deep sorrow at the news of Russell’s passing . A great team man and provider of some funny moments despite some personal setbacks . On more than one occasion I recall him fielding the high ball from the kick-off only for it to hit him in the face due to his poor eyesight . A hard man though , injured at Keynsham he drove himself to hospital to have 34 stitches put inside his mouth.
