-You kicked the ball -over these wires... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-..and Mrs Davies's house -was the dead-ball line. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-We hit her front door so many times. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |

-She said one hadn't and I was -ready to go off to Millfield. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
-When confirmation arrived -that I had a place in Millfield... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |

-"I don't know - I hadn't seen it." | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |

-..for my rugby career. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |

-There is another side to you -that is not so well publicized. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-You played in a brass band -when you were younger. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-First, here's a clip of one of west -Wales's most popular brass bands... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-..the Llanelli Brass Band -marching through the town in 1963. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-The cornet -was your instrument of choice. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-Dad wanted me to be a part of it. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-His family had been members -of a band in Ammanford. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-Everyone in his family -played in the band. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |

-He'd also played the cornet in front -of the King a few years earlier... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
-..in an exhibition -at the Crystal Palace. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-Dad loved brass bands -and he was hoping I'd join a band. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-I was more interested in sport -and playing rugby and soccer. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-Like everyone else, I look back and -regret I didn't take it seriously. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-I played in the youth band... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-..but unfortunately, -I packed it in soon after. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-Well, fortunately for others, maybe! | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-You can't pass and kick a cornet -as you would a ball. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
-I'd place my cornet in the bath. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-I'd tell Mam it had to be left -in the bath to clean itself out. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-That's where it was most of the time -- not next to my lips. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-It's time for us to take a break. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |

-When I returned to Neath... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-..there were flowers for my mother, -grandmother and Maureen... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
-..the greatest welcome -you'd ever seen... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-..and a lovely motor car to take me -through Rhydyfro and Pontardawe... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
-..all the way to Cwmgors -and Gwauncaegurwen. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-People lined the streets -every step of the way to welcome us. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:46 | |
-The bunting was hanging from -the houses. I'll never forget it. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
-A big cwtch from Maureen at the end! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-When you're away from home, -you don't realize what's going on. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
-You concentrate on every match. -It's a long time to be away. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
-I had a family -and when I went to South Africa... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-..my son Owen was born -on the Tuesday... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-..and I left home on the Friday -for three and a half months. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
-That was difficult. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-It wasn't as bad if you were -a youngster still in college... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-..with no family. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-It was a far better experience. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-We turn to the tranquillity of the -river and leave the rugby behind. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
-Here, you're explaining -to Huw Llywelyn Davies... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-..the appeal of fishing -and how you became interested. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-I remember catching -one of my first fish. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-There were only eels in the river. -Only eels could survive. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
-I'm sure the fish -had pneumosilicosis. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-You used to break your mother's -heart when you took them home. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-There was no point her cooking them. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
-By the time she'd removed the dust, -coal and skin off them... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-..there was nothing left. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-It gave me as much pleasure -to catch the eels... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
-..as it gives me -to catch a salmon now. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-I play rugby at the highest level... | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-..and this is the only way -I can relax and forget about rugby. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
-Every time I fish, -wherever I fish... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-..as soon as I'm on the river, -I forget everything. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-I almost lost my train of thought... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-..because when I look at the water, -I start thinking about fishing. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
-That's the effect it has on me. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-I enjoy being out -in the countryside. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-I love these surroundings. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-I feel free here. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-Those were impressive sideburns. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
-That's the worst thing -about the style of that time. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
-That's what's nice -about watching these clips. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-You do relax completely when -you fish and have done for decades. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-Since I was about five years old. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-I was raised near the river -in Gwauncaegurwen... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-..before we moved up -to Colbren Square. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-The river flowed -through the village. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
-Most of the time, -the river was black. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
-It was black because of the coal -that ended up in the water. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
-As I was telling Huw, -only eels could survive in it. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
-If you travelled beyond that river, -into the mountains... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-..you'd find some great clear -waters for trout fishing. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
-Mr Williams, one of our neighbours, -was a keen angler. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
-He took me fishing for the first -time when I was about six years old. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
-I caught some trout -and brought them home. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
-Mam had to cook them -as soon as I got home. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-There's nothing better than cooking -fish that have just been caught. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | |
-The interest in fishing -has stayed with me all my life. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-It helps me relax now. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
-I didn't think it would be important -when I played for Wales... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
-..but when you're under pressure -on the pitch... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-..it was a release for me -away from the pitch. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-The whole experience was a joy. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
-It wasn't just -about catching the fish. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
-It was about being -in the great outdoors. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-You need an opportunity to come down -after the rush of excitement. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-If I spend an hour on the river, -I forget about it all. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-I think we'd have some letters -of complaint... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-..if we didn't show this next clip -of you on the programme. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
-Any excuse to show a classic -from the history of rugby union. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-Here's Gareth Edwards's try... | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-..against the All Blacks in 1973 -at Cardiff Arms Park. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-Bryan Williams -gave the Barbarians possession... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-..which led to one of the most -remarkable tries at the Arms Park. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-Bennett caught New Zealand's -back row flat-footed. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
-The Baa-Baas' attack reformed -and moved up field. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-Edwards crosses for a try -that had the crowd gasping... | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-..and the All Blacks bewildered. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
-Yay! I still want to do that -every time I see that clip. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-Do you sometimes -reach for the tape... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
-..and relive the try -when you're on your own? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-I watched the entire game for the -first time only about a year ago. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
-I don't watch it that often. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
-Of course, -wherever I go around the world... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-..people ask me about the try... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-..more often than not, -in New Zealand... | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
-..South Africa, -Australia and America. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-It also happened once -when I was fishing in Russia. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
-A bloke had a recording of the match -and showed it on TV. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
-I was asked to speak about the try. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-People have seen it -around the world. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-People remember where they were -when that match was played... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
-..but I never watch it. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
-My son Owen rang me up -a few weeks ago... | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
-..to tell me -the match was on the television. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
-I watched it and enjoyed it... | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-..but when I watched it... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-..I picked out all the mistakes -we made... | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-..instead of highlighting -the good points from the game. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
-It's an iconic try. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
-It's the perfect way -to end the programme. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-Thank you for joining us. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
-I hope you've enjoyed -your trip down memory lane. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
-Unfortunately, -time flies by so quickly. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-Thank you very much, Gareth. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-Until next time, goodnight. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
