Accredited with three 3 caps for the Lions and 36 for England, Duckham’s ability in attack to open up the most miserly of defenses earned him 10 tries for his country and the record of six tries in one game against West Coast / Buller during the 1971 Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand.

His unmistakable blond mane draped behind him, ‘Dai’ (as the Welsh christened him) Duckham’s counter-attacking often left marauding defenses chasing shadows with his guile and speed. Born and educated in Coventry he is the archetypal Englishman and one of the world’s finest players.
