The only English player so far to make the International Hall of Fame, Sir Wavell Wakefield, later Baron Wakefield of Kendal, was a versatile forward who revolutionized the function of the pack who, until he came on the scene, were extremely static, concentrating almost entirely on set-piece. He captained England on 13 of his 31 international appearances and helped England to three Grand Slams in 1921, 1923 and 1924. Served with the Royal Flying Corps in World War One, was a fantastic all-round sportsman and later became RFU president in 1950. Well worth raising a toast to in the Wakefield restaurant at Twickenham. An England legend, Sir Wavell Wakefield was a versatile forward who could play anywhere in the back five of the scrum. He revolutionized the function of the pack who, until he came on the scene, were extremely static, concentrating almost entirely on set-piece. He developed forward play in the loose and came up with defensive systems for the forwards, including the use of a fast open side flanker putting pressure on the opposition fly-half from set-piece.

Wakefield captained England on 13 of his 31 international appearances, a record that stood until Bill Beaumont came along in the 1980s, and helped England to three Grand Slams in 1921, 1923 and 1924.

Wakefield served with the Royal Flying Corps in World War One and was a fantastic all-round sportsman, playing cricket to a high level and becoming the RAF's 440 yard champion. He was knighted in 1944, was RFU president in 1950 and was later enobled, becoming the first Baron Wakefield of Kendal.
