Stuart Edward Russell (born 29 May 1963) is a Welsh former rugby union international.[1]
Russell, a Nairobi-born lock, attended Burford School in Oxfordshire and played for London Welsh.[2]
Capped once for Wales, in a 1987 win over the United States, Russell was the first London Welsh player to debut for Wales since Clive Rees back in 1974.[3] He moved to Bishop's Stortford in 1988, but was forced to retire from top level rugby within a year due to an eye injury, having twice suffered a detached retina.[4] [5]
