http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/27467391 Jonny to retire at end of season. Too many are called "great" but this guy was truly "GREAT" Who can ever forget that day in 2003 and that magnificent drop goal that won us the World Cup. Rates as one of my all time Sporting Heroes.
I know many on here are not fans of the other ball game, but I love it. The moment that drop goal went over was one of the happiest of my entire life. I've never buzzed quite so much. Really enjoying the Saracens period of supremacy too (which, btw, you could probably count as our nearest Premiership team for Norfolk...) and the great rugby they are playing.
Living in bath it's a hard sport to avoid but I was a fan before I got here from norwich 5 years ago. Jonny was the epitome of the sport when I started watching and he's my first real sporting hero to retire. It's a really strange feeling.
