Chris Jones was a rugby player from the South Wales valleys who hated losing. He’d do anything to win and his violent attitude often resulted in him being sent off. Eventually he was banned for life by the Welsh Rugby Union. Later he was reinstated but his attitude hadn’t changed and after being sent off again in a televised match he was banned for life for a second time. He got into a fight at the Brecon Jazz Festival and was arrested. While he was sitting in a prison cell he realised he had to change and invited Jesus Christ into his life. That was in the late 1980s and since then Chris hasn’t been in another fight. Today he’s a successful coach with youngsters in South Wales. Adrian Barnard talked to him about his remarkable life and began by asking what it’s like having the tag of being the only person in the history of world rugby to be banned for life twice?
