Tributes from Cornwall have been paid to former England captain Richard Sharp who has died aged 87.
The fly-half won 14 caps for England, leading them to the 1963 Five Nations title.
In 1962 he toured with the British and Irish Lions to South Africa where he scored 45 points in 11 matches.
Sharp grew up in Redruth and made his name at the Cornish town’s club before representing Wasps and Bristol.
“He never forgot his roots, I remember him always saying that no matter what changing room he went in around the world, the Redruth one meant the most to him,” Redruth RFC president Dave Penberthy told BBC Radio Cornwall.
“He was the most humble man you’ll ever meet, and he played some very, very good rugby at Wasps, at Bristol, but he always loved playing here and this club meant so much to him.”
