His 53 caps were won in succession over ten years - a world record - and in those games he would only taste defeat fifteen times; he never had a dip in form or an injury that would allow anybody else to take his place. Edwards was the ultimate finisher, blessed with extreme pace, married with strength, agility and guile.
