Shane Williams MBE

Shane Williams MBE is one of Welsh rugby's greatest ever players and one of the most exciting wingers the game has seen. Renowned for his electrifying pace, incredible footwork and natural try-scoring ability, Shane enjoyed a remarkable international career that established him as a true legend of the sport.

Representing Wales between 2000 and 2011, Shane won 87 international caps and scored a record-breaking 58 tries, making him Wales' all-time leading try scorer. He was instrumental in two Six Nations Grand Slam victories in 2005 and 2008, and his outstanding performances earned him the prestigious World Rugby Player of the Year award in 2008 becoming the first Welshman to receive the honour. 

His achievements extended beyond international rugby, representing the British & Irish Lions on three tours in 2005, 2009 and 2013. One of his career highlights came during the 2009 tour of South Africa, where he scored two tries in the final Test victory over the Springboks. 

Following his retirement from professional rugby in 2015, Shane successfully transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a familiar face and voice across BBC, ITV and other major sporting platforms. His experience, insight and infectious enthusiasm have made him a popular rugby pundit, presenter and commentator.

Away from the pitch, Shane is a highly sought-after after-dinner and motivational speaker. Combining hilarious stories from his playing days with honest reflections on overcoming adversity, defying expectations and achieving success against the odds, he offers audiences an engaging and inspiring insight into elite sport.

From being told he was too small to play rugby to becoming one of the greatest players in Welsh sporting history, Shane's story is a powerful reminder that determination, belief and talent can overcome even the greatest obstacles.
