As part of the celebrations for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, the Rugby Pathway of Fame was set into the pavements of Rugby to take visitors on a tour of the town. Each bronze plaque within the Pathway is dedicated to a legend of the sport or an historic moment in its development.

He put into place the last of the series of 47 commemorative plaques and started a complete relay of the Pathway by 10 children from a local Primary School.

They were accompanied by players from the Rugby Lions RFC who had been coaching the children as part of a county-wide 'Rugby in Schools' project

A great deal of time and thought went into deciding which of the many great players from around the world should be included in the Pathway. Rugby unions and leagues around the world were asked to make their nominations but reducing the list to just 47 plaques was a monumental task. The list of players and events below are the chosen few!
