Former Leigh and Warrington wing won 24 caps for Great Britain‘Des was a superstar whose brilliance created many memories’Rugby league has paid its respects to the former Great
Britain winger Des Drummond, who has died at the age of 63. The RFL led the tributes, saying the 24-cap Lion was “a player whose brilliance, athleticism and personality transcended the sport”.
Born in Jamaica, Drummond made his name at Leigh, earning a contract with the club after he and his parents followed brother Alva over to
England. He made 280 appearances for the club and won the title with them in 1982.
