DVD Description
At the age of 24, Jonny Wilkinson (MBE) is one of the world’s youngest and most naturally gifted rugby players. The Newcastle Falcons and England fly-half has become one of the best goal-kickers the sport has ever seen, becoming the most potent weapon in England’s armoury. Best known for letting his famed left foot do all the talking – winning game after game with his unbelievable 85% kicking reliability, he has notched up 35 caps and more than 500 international points – easily an all-time record!

Jonny Wilkinson – The Real Story traces Jonny’s life with family photographs and footage of Jonny kicking as a schoolboy for Farnham Juniors right through to his reactions on captaining England for the first time and winning the Grand Slam. Featuring interviews with ex-England captain Will Carling, players Michael Lynagh, Rob Andrew, Jonathan Davies and rugby fan Ian Botham, and including more than 30 minutes of scintillating action from England’s most successful ever period, this film gets under the skin of the present heart-throb of the English Rugby team as he prepares for his biggest challenge to date – the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup.

A great insight into a great player!
As one of the best rugby players in the world Jonny Wilkinson attracts a lot of media attention. However it is rare that we get such a detailed insight of him both on and off the pitch. The DVD features footage of the young Jonny playing for Farnham Juniors up to his present world beating performances. A must for all rugby fans!

jonny good
I have watched both of Jonny Wilkinson's DVD's and they are both brilliant. Any rugby fan would love an insight in the the talisman of English rugby. You get to look around his home in Newcastle and watch him on his days off shopping and visiting Marwell Zoo with Richard Hill. These DVD's are a must buy.

A great insight into a great player!
As one of the greatest rugby players in the world Jonny Wilkinson attracts great media attention. However, it is rare that we get to see such a detailed insight into him as a person both on and off the pitch. The DVD features interviews with his family, team mates, friends and most importantly Jonny himself! The footage inludes videos of the young Jonny playing club rugby through to his present world beating performances. Brilliantly timed release on the eve of the Rugby World Cup- a must for all rugby fans!
