The Bish: It's All About Me

“Bishop is the best player in the northern hemisphere… He is a team in his own right, and that says it all… He’s magic.” – Brian Thomas, Neath and Wales
“David Bishop is the best scrum half in Welsh rugby since World War Two. Surely there has never been a more dynamic and deadly
attacker among scrum halves… the complete one-man army.” – John Billot, Western Mail
“The best one-cap wonder in the history of Rugby Union or Rugby League. Or probably any other sport for that matter. His display against Gloucester in 1982 was the best example of a one-man team performance I have ever seen on a rugby field.” – Peter Jackson, Daily Mail
“Genius sportsmen and women are often complicated individuals, and my friend David Bishop certainly comes under both those headings!” – Craig Bellamy, Wales footballer and manager
“There lurked throughout the land a horde of players guilty to a man of sins far more heinous than the punch thrown by David Bishop.” – Eddie Butler, Pontypool, Wales and Lions
“Playing outside The Bish, you had the ultimate armchair ride… He was a comic book hero sort of player.” – Mark Ring, Cardiff, Pontypool and Wales
“David Bishop is the greatest Welsh scrum half I ever saw at club level, and by a distance. He was better than Gareth [Edwards] at club level because he was brilliant all the time… The game was denied something special by the refusal of Wales to pick him.” – Bobby Windsor, Pontypool, Wales and Lions
