He must be well into his 70's now but still exudes a dangerous aura about him, he ain't the biggets bloke around, but he got hands like shovels.

Never actually seen him play RL, but went to Wigan on tour and he's a legend up there !
He also played RL for Cardiff ! He was as wide as he was tall, I think he has passed away now, he used to play football on a sunday morning in the North Gwent league and he terrorised every one in it !
He was treasurer for the club, no-one forgot to pay their subs !

He has a reputation as being one of the hardest lads in Newport.
Supposed to be a good guy as well.

I went to his funeral near Waltham Abbey, think it was compulsory to have a broken nose to attend.
Roy Shaw is now dead.
