Cardiff Blues are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of former First Minister Rhodri Morgan.

The 77-year-old was a long-standing supporter of rugby in Cardiff and was an honorary member of Cardiff Blues.

Morgan, the former AM for Cardiff West, is survived by his wife, Julie, two daughters and a son.

Cardiff Blues chief executive Richard Holland said: “Our sincere condolences go out to Rhodri’s wife Julie, his three children and his friends and family at this difficult time.

“Rhodri was not just a giant of politics but a champion of all things Wales, and in particular sport.

“He was a passionate supporter of Cardiff Blues and a regular on the terraces of Cardiff Arms Park. He will be sorely missed.”
