Gomer Hughes (13 May 1910 in Neath[1] — 14 November 1974 in Salford) was a Welsh dual-code international rugby union and professional rugby league footballer of the 1930s and '40s, playing representative level rugby union (RU) for Wales, and Wales XV, and at club level for Penarth RFC, as a Lock, i.e. number 4 or 5, and playing representative level rugby league (RL) for Wales, and at club level for Swinton.[2]
Gomer Hughes represented Wales XV (RU) while at Swinton (RL) in the 'Victory International' non-Test match(es) between December 1945 and April 1946, won caps for Wales (RU) while at Penarth RFC (RU) in 1934 England, Scotland, and Ireland, and won caps for Wales (RL) while at Swinton (RL) 1935…1940 3-caps.[3]
Six rugby league footballers represented Wales XV (RU) while at rugby league clubs, they were; Tyssul Griffiths, Elwyn Gwyther, Gomer Hughes, Hugh Lloyd-Davies, Harold Thomas, and Leslie Thomas.
Gomer Hughes, and Harold Thomas had previously won Wales (RU) caps, but the other footballers hadn't, and having already changed to the rugby league code they were unable to do so, but Tyssul Griffiths, Elwyn Gwyther, Leslie Thomas, did go on to win Wales (RL) caps.
Gomer (גֹּמֶר, Standard Hebrew Gómer, Tiberian Hebrew Gōmer, pronounced [ɡoˈmeʁ]) was the eldest son of Japheth (and of the Japhetic line), and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah, according to the "Table of Nations" in the Hebrew Bible, (Genesis 10).
The eponymous Gomer, "standing for the whole family," as the compilers of the Jewish Encyclopedia expressed it, is also mentioned in Book of Ezekiel 38:6 as the ally of Gog, the chief of the land of Magog.
In Islamic folklore, the Persian historian Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (c. 915) recounts a Persian tradition that Gomer lived to the age of 1000, noting that this record equalled that of Nimrod, but was unsurpassed by anyone else mentioned in the Torah.
Josephus placed Gomer and the "Gomerites" in Anatolian Galatia: "For Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now call Galatians, but were then called Gomerites." Galatia in fact takes its name from the ancient Gauls (Celts) who settled there. However, the later Christian writer Hippolytus of Rome in c. 234 assigned Gomer as the ancestor of the Cappadocians, neighbours of the Galatians.Jerome (c. 390) and Isidore of Seville (c. 600) followed Josephus' identification of Gomer with the Galatians, Gauls and Celts.
Gomer was the son of Japheth in the Hebrew Bible.

Que forte amor, é esse amor
Que me invade assim
Que forte amor, que estranho amor
Que não me deixa dormir
Percorre o meu corpo e a minha alma fica no ar
Me aquece, me envolve, me consome, sem me tocar
Dá um vazio sem esse olhar
Não tem limite, o que eu sinto não dá pra explicar
Que amor é esse, que me domina e me conduz
É tão importante quanto o ar pra mim
É minha vida, é minha luz
Que amor é esse que tomou conta do meu ser
Sem tudo isso eu já não sei viver
Que amor é esse
