meeting a sporting legend


As a general sports enthusiast it is a pleasure to work in the field that is my passion. A massive perk of working within this arena is that sometimes, on very rare occasions, you get to meet sportsmen and women who are true legends and giants of sport. This slightly self-indulgent post is frankly a big boast about how I was lucky enough to meet Jonny Wilkinson yesterday. The Rugby World Cup winner and all round English hero is now based in Toulon and I was involved with some promotional activity he was taking part in. A genuinely nice, intelligent and eloquent guy who deserves the adulation he receives. Like every other England fan I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of best number 10s of recent times can stay fit for the upcoming Autumn Internationals, Six Nations, and the 2011 World Cup. If you don't share this sentiment click on the link above for a 2minute summary of why England are an entirely different prospect with him in the team.
