Career
A lock-forward, he played club rugby for Swansea Reconstruction Finance Corporation. A large uncompromising figure, Wheel had a noticeable twitch which only served to make him more intimidating. In 1977 Wheel, along with Willie Duggan of Ireland, became the first players to be sent off in a Five Nations international match. Wheel is the organist for All Saint"s Church, Kilvey in Swansea.
In 2011 he agreed to become the president of a Welsh male voice choir, the Swansea-based Gwalia Singers.
