The Rugby Paper

Charming Nick was so modest

- Hugh Lachlan

I WAS very sad to hear that Nick Drake-Lee had passed away recently due to Covid.

My wife and I made friends with Bill (Nick’s son and ex-Tiger) and Bill’s late wife Kate shortly after moving up from London to Northants nearly 20 years ago. We subsequent­ly met Nick and the rest of the DrakeLee clan at numerous family occasions. Nick was quiet, charming, witty and extremely modest about his internatio­nal rugby career.
