On this Day in 2007 Johnny Wilkinson Made his Comeback with a Piece of Class

Posted by

Johnny Wilkinson one of the best players to ever play the game and of course the man that you could say won the World Cup for England in 2003 with that famous drop goal at the death against Australia in the final.

England v Scotland is one of the oldest matches in the game of rugby union ‘The Calcutta Cup’ and there’s always a huge rivalry between the two. Wilkinson made his comeback then after an array of injuries all over his body really, he was a player that left everything out their on the pitch. A real physical player, despite being an Out-half…

Humble as every also in his post match interview.

England went on to reach the World Cup final again that year in 2007 and could have very well have won it, but that South African team at the time were worthy winners and lifted the William Webb Ellis trophy in France.
