David Duckham Cause of Death

Former rugby player, David Duckham has died. He died on January 9, 2023, at the age of 76. The cause of his death is unknown.

David Duckham played 36 games for England from 1969 to 1976 and scored 10 tries. Duckham made his debut at the centre, partnering John Spencer against Ireland in 1969.

Duckham was the only English back in the 1973 Barbarians side that beat the All Blacks 23-11 at Cardiff Arms Park. In the first half, he made a run that has become part of rugby lore, that brought gasps and cheers from a Welsh crowd more accustomed to regarding him with hostility.

After the match, he was given the nickname, Dai by the Welsh fans because he played like one of their own. He was injured and unavailable for the 1974 British Lions tour to South Africa.
