Ian Reginald Ford (6 June 1929 — 7 November 2020) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Ford was born to English parents in Cardiff and attended Bassaleg School, where he learned his rugby.[1]
A towering lock, Ford was capped twice for Wales in the 1959 Five Nations, against England at Cardiff Arms Park and Scotland at Murrayfield.[2] He made 482 appearances for his club Newport and was regarded as amongst their best performers when they upset the 1963-64 All Blacks, playing beside Brian Price in the second row.[3]
