Frann 882 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 The man who created Groggs, the hand-carved caricatures celebrating sporting heroes and other celebrities, has died. John Hughes, who was 78 and from Pontypridd, passed away after a long illness. Mr Hughes became well known for creating caricatures of famous names, including Elvis Presley and Welsh rugby greats such as Gareth Edwards. Pontypridd RFC described Mr Hughes as "a passionate supporter of Welsh rugby, particularly so of Pontypridd". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
