description: "Arthur Joseph \"Monkey\" Gould was a Welsh international rugby union player who was most associated as a club player with Newport Rugby Football Club. He won 27 caps for Wales, 18 as captain, and critics consider him the first superstar of Welsh rugby. A talented all-round player and champion sprinter, Gould could side-step and kick expertly with either foot. He never ceased practising to develop his fitness and skills, and on his death was described as \"the most accomplished player of his generation\"."
