From New Zealand to Barnstaplepublished at 11:14 British Summer Time 5 June 2015

Kevin Squire, ex-head coach at Barnstaple rugby, said: "I happened to bump into him in a cafe, I went over and said 'hi' looking for a selfie.
"I invited him down to the club, never expecting him to come, and two or three days later he was there. He did a training session with our under-13 side, after that session he asked if it would be possible for him to have a game the following day.
"I said 'there's no way you can play for us, you're not registered,' and he said 'I'm not on about the first team - the second team would do.'
"The next day he played for our second team. If you were to ask all the lads that played that day, they'll never forget the experience.
"In terms of the man himself, he was always so down to earth, the overriding vibe we got from the guy was what a terrific fella he was. I was so upset when I heard the news this morning. Everyone at Barnstaple rugby club will be devastated to hear the very sad news."

"We say in the All Blacks that good men make great All Blacks. He was a very, very good man.
"Tough as old boots on the field, but off the field he'd be the nicest guy you'd meet. Its very, very sad news. He'll be remembered fondly. "
