A memorial dedicated to the memory of Clive Shell
This is an online tribute to Clive Shell who was a Welsh international rugby union player. Clive Shell made his debut for the Wales national rugby union team 10 November 1973 against Australia where he kissed the ball on his first touch while putting the ball into a scrum. A scrum-half, he played club rugby for Aberavon RFC.

Clive Shell was one of several scrum halves of that era who were in competition with Gareth Edwards for a place in the Welsh side. Although the Australia encounter was his one and only cap, Clive Shell played for Wales against Tonga (1974). In 1977, during a Welsh Cup semi-final, Clive Shell received a broken jaw playing against Edwards and Cardiff RFC.

Clive Shell formed a club half back partnership with John Bevan who was also capped by Wales. He captained Aberavon RFC in the seasons of 1977-8, 1978-9 and 1979-80 before retiring.

Clive Shell died on the 6th January 2012. This is an online memorial in honour of his life. May he rest in peace.
