Peter Jackson pays tribute to Lewis Jones, the golden boy of Welsh rugby.

Peter Jackson hears stories of Lewis Jones, the golden boy of Welsh rugby who was ostracised in Wales but a rugby league hero in Yorkshire and Australia.

Lewis Jones was being hailed as the Golden Boy of Welsh rugby union when he “went north” to become a folk hero at Leeds rugby league club. Following his recent death, Peter Jackson traces the story of one of the most gifted players in either code and hears tributes from Wales, Yorkshire and Australia where he eventually found success and acceptance from both games.
