He played a record number of 519 times for Bristol, scoring 384 tries, between 1968 and 1986. He holds the world record for the number of tries scored in first class rugby, at 479.
He won 7 England caps, from 1972 to 1975, scoring 2 tries, 8 points on aggregate. He played at the 1975 Five Nations Championship, scoring a try. He was selected for the 1974 Lions tour but didn't make the Test side, having to compete with J.J. Williams, Billy Steele and Andy Irvine.
