Wonderful news and the first Rugby League player to be knighted when there are 20 Rugby Union and 12 for Yatching
Any of you wanting evidence of class system in this country then look no further
Boston was told he would never play for Eales as he was black
He paved the way for others like Clive Sullivan and Gus Risman
A player with three statues to his name
Great tribute on BBC this morning by Ellery Handley , one of the top five British sportsman Ive seen in the flesh
Next up should be Sinfield |  |

Three statues? I applaud his achievements and reaction to discrimination but three sound a bit excessive. The statue in Cardiff of the head mistress is laughable. It is massive. |  |

One at Wembley which he graced on many occasions
One at Wigan , the club that accepted him as a man and player
And Cardiff , his birthplace
One sportsman of whom nobody at all had a bad word to say no matter what club they support
Boston was a trailblazer and a real icon
Without doubt , for many, Cardiffs greatest sportsman
His record still stands | |

And yet some Nats with an ap on the name slagging him off for being subservient to the oppressor by accepting it
This is what Welsh people face with te@td like this given a mouthpiece | |

He dearly wanted to play for Ealrs but was treated in shocking fashion by Welsh Rugby Union
He want the only one
David Watkins chronicled how he was banned from every club in Wales after turning pro and going north
I worked with Maurice Richard's, a lovely guy and brilliant wing when he decided to go to Salford
He agonised over it as he knew how toxic people were then in Wales to anyone going north
It's Wales shame | |

There is another few Welsh players who took the Apartheid Rand playing white skinned s rugby only. One also has a statue. These still time for him to apologise and pay any tax liabilities.. | |
