Neath Rugby Supporters Club were today saddened to hear of the death of Grahame Hodgson.

The popular full-back’s career with Neath spanned three decades and is regarded by many as one of the finest players to have pulled on the black jersey, making over 400 appearances.

Grahame Hodgson’s name is never far from discussions when choosing entrants to our Hall of Fame, and undoubtedly will feature again in this year’s deliberations, such is the esteem in which he is held.

An excellent tribute to him by Mike Price can be read on the Neath Rugby website.

It goes without saying, the thoughts of the Neath Rugby Supporters Club are with his friends, family and team mates at this time.
