David Duckham, the England rugby great who also starred for the British and Irish Lions, especially in the triumphant 1971 series in New Zealand, has died. He was 76. Duckham's death was announced by his former club Coventry as well as the Lions on Tuesday.

"David Duckham was not only one of the greatest and most talented of English players," said Nigel Gillingham, president of England's Rugby Football Union, "but also a player so greatly admired around the world." Duckham won 36 caps for England from 1969-76, initially as a center before going on to make his mark as a dynamic winger who brought flair to an otherwise conservative team. He retired as the country's second all-time highest tryscorer, behind Cyril Low, with 10.
