Description

Our guest this week is former London Welsh prop and captain Julian Davies.  This Barry boy came to London Welsh in 1980 and played for the club for over 12 seasons.  He had to bide his time and literally fight his way into the first team by demonstrating his scrummaging prowess in those legendary Thursday night training sessions.  He led the club on many occasion, appointed for a couple of seasons as club captain, but also took over the reigns when others got injured.  We discuss his captaining style, the many club tours that happened during the 1980's and the friendships that last until this day.  We look back at his time at the club through the many stories Julian has of being a proud player of this club.  Julian left London Welsh and went on to make 150 appearances for Esher and retiring just before his 40th birthday.  We discuss what he is up to now as President of the Voyagers and scrum coach at Reeds Weybridge. A fascinating insight into club life by one of London Welsh's most colourful characters.
