Rummy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 £20? this blokes having a laugh if he thinks loads of English people (the majority of people) are gonna pay that, maybe im hugely wrong just think 10 is more on the mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a living legend in the world of rugby. I think he will probably be the busiest of sports guests. The Welsh he played in dominated that era of rugby, he was also a British Lion. Heres hoping for Barry john as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's doubly offensive ! Once because it's racist (only Welsh people will want his auto ????) and once because it assumes the majority of attendees are English. Get a grip !

sdog Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You could equally argue Graham gooch was as big a legend. The England team may not have been at its best but during his period as captain his own performances were outstanding. His century off of the West Indies at Headingley was ranked by the ICC as the finest test innings ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry if you find it racist that wasnt my intention. I do think 20 is a lot still but that i guess is for his fans to show me up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a proud English rugby supporter, but I'm also proud to have his autograph. This isn't just any old rugby player - this is a guy who was Wales' youngest captain (in an era when they had a hell of a team), the scorer of "that try" against the All Blacks, and a man who in a 2003 poll of international rugby players organised by Rugby World magazine was voted the greatest player of all time. His fame transcends national boundaries and affiliations. That's doubly offensive ! Once because it's racist (only Welsh people will want his auto ????) and once because it assumes the majority of attendees are English. Get a grip ! Not sure if it was actually racist, but it was certainly overly simplistic and ungracious. The assumption that the majority of the people attending a show in London would be English is perhaps not unreasonable. I'd certainly expect them to be the largest national grouping, and I wouldn't be unsurprised if they comprised more than 50% of those there.

Does it realy matter what nationality you are to appreciate an all time great of the sporting world. I will be trecking down from the valleys at some unearthly hour to attend this show and the Welsh rugby boys are at the top of my list. A fantastic opportunity to meet three true legends of rugby in one fell swoop I severely doubt i will be the only one meeting them!! BUGGER, just realised i've replied to the wrong post. Sorry bout that ; ( Edited November 23, 2009 by THE WOLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
