Scizeau my condolences to everyone who will miss him, but although I never met him and I'm not even a rugby fan, he did change my life.

ComeonthePont! Gareth
Such a tragedy
You were always so exciting to watch with your great pace and tenacity
Was sorry to see you move on to Neath where I know you made your mark so well also
A real character off the field as well
The real local boy made good
My thoughts are with you and your family
I am sure Ponty will do something to remember you
I will never forget you, of that I am sure
Rest in Peace

alison rip snid

Sue Richards A terrible tragedy, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time

Neil S A horrible tragedy. Words can not be enough for his family at this time. Snid always had the time for a chat and his passion for life was obvious. He gave his all for the teams he represented. RIP Snid.

raven Sad news

Neal Hammond I'll always remember the indelible moment when you sent out that long pass to set up the try for Lockyear in the Cup Final against Neath. A great memory.

kad so sad to hear this tragic news,deepest sympathy to all his family.RIP SNID

Sardis-Exile The times that I have yelled "Come on Snid" from the terrace. I will remember a player that had such a turn of pace that you just knew that something magical was going to come from him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and especially his young kids.

I think that there should be meaningful discussion now for a way to commemorate his life whether this would be a memorial match or a competition...whatever it is his contribution to Ponty, Neath and Welsh rugby in general should not be forgotten.

martyn lewis How can we help the family in this tragic time? Start a fund?

Sian Too young to die, but your memory will live on in everyone who had the pleasure of being in your company and knowing you.
RIP Gareth x

Ponty.net Website Manager I had the pleasure of his company at the GTFM studios a few seasons ago - he was a larger than life character, and I got along with him famously. He would always make a point of having a quick chat whenever we saw each other from then on.

While he had the ability to ruffle feathers (!), his tenacity and dogged spirit on the field of play was something to be admired, and his commitment and passion were a shining example.

His loss with be profoundly felt, not only at Pontypridd and Neath, but across the wider Rugby-playing world.
