. In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s, witnessing a defining moment in the illustrious career of Welsh rugby union wing, Stuart Watkins. Born on 5th June 1941, Watkins became an icon of the sport and represented both Newport and Cardiff with great distinction. The image captures the intense action at Rodney Parade on 11th November 1968 as Newport faced off against their fierce rivals from Cardiff. With unwavering determination etched across his face, Watkins is seen soaring through the air like a majestic bird of prey, pouncing for his monumental 100th try for Newport. This remarkable achievement not only showcased his exceptional skill but also proved instrumental in securing victory for his team that day. The deafening cheers from adoring fans reverberated throughout the stadium as they celebrated this historic milestone alongside their beloved hero. Watkins' journey to greatness began at Cross Keys before he found his true calling at Newport in 1963. However, it was not without its challenges; a dispute about training led him to make a daring move to rival club Cardiff in 1970. Yet despite these obstacles, he remained steadfastly committed to leaving an indelible mark on Welsh rugby history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph today, let us remember Stuart Watkins as more than just a sportsman but as an emblematic figure who embodied passion, resilience and triumph over adversity - forever etching himself
