Prince of centres, England World Cup finalist, and the man with the Lions drop goal
RugbyThe word elegant is overused in rugby, but Jeremy Guscott earned it. Silky in midfield, unruffled under pressure, and responsible for one of the most famous kicks in the history of the British and Irish Lions.
Born in Bath in 1965, Guscott came through at Bath Rugby during the club's greatest era, winning eight Courage League titles and six John Player Cups. For England he won 65 caps between 1989 and 1999, formed a classic centre partnership with Will Carling, and played in the 1991 and 1995 World Cup Finals as well as the 1999 quarter final run.
His Lions career is the stuff of legend. Three tours, 1989, 1993 and 1997, and the drop goal in Durban in the second Test against South Africa that won the 1997 series, a kick that is still run back on Lions highlight reels every four years. He retired from playing in 1999 and walked into the BBC's rugby box, where he has been ever since.
As a pundit he is sharp, economical and rarely wrong. On stage he is the same, a smooth and articulate speaker with the confidence of a man who has done it at the highest level and the generosity to explain how. One of the most booked rugby speakers in the country, and for good reason.
