The Les Spence Memorial Gates were erected in memory of the former Cardiff RFU player, who captained the team in 1936–37. He was born in 1907 and became chairman of the Cardiff RFU and president of the WRU between 1973 and 1974. He was awarded an MBE and died in 1988.<ref name="Les">{{cite web|url=http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=les-spence-memorial-gates-cardiff|publisher=History Points|title=Les Spence Memorial Gates, Cardiff Arms Park|access-date=15 June 2013|archive-date=6 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106032213/http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=les-spence-memorial-gates-cardiff|url-status=live}}</ref>
