  • one thousand points and then some,,,the best ever

  • well done on a fantastic Test career Johny - love you - proper decent, intelligent, humble man - wish you were Welsh!!!

    we can breathe a little easier at the Millenium now!!!

  • Meeting him on friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • he is fit!!

  • Go J, we met him in NZ, humble and v clever....I think he should get a NZ girlfriend, no paps, just sweet and his French is impeccable (2011) BTW I'm not over 60,

    And we saw this video before we met u in Crowne Plaza, hey if you ever come to HK JW, look us up

  • Go J, we met him in NZ, humble and v clever....I think he should get a NZ girlfriend, no paps, just sweet and his French is impeccable (2011) BTW I'm not over 60

  • wow. wish there were some football players like that

  • What a wonderful fellow!!!

    

  • Heath ledger anyone?

  • I met Jonny when I was 12 years old, in 2004. We entered a competition in the Daily Telegraph to spend and evening with Jonny and Mr Hackett, at the Hackett store in London. I can hand on heart say he is the single biggest inspiration I have ever had in my life, he was absolutly amazing with me and my brother that night, made us feel so welcome and there was no nerves. I would just like to say Jonny Wilkinson is the greatest ambassador not only for rugby but for Britain there is. Thank you Jonny

  • gr8 vidz , johnny converted to buddhism as other celebrity converts . lord buddha bless u johnny and ur family.

  • C'est un des meilleurs joueur au monde......

  • legend

  • @ironman25612 *of

  • @ironman25612 I think that should be you.

  • Great rugby player and great guy.

  • It's funny how when wilkinson comes back after injury he keeps on taking the six nations top scorer record away from Ronan O'Gara, he is a true legend i can't remember ever seeing him miss a kick.. But watching dan carter play is just amazing, love how he runs with the ball, side stepping and spinning out of tackles, great ball holder.

  • Explain

  • is it hard for asians (indians) to get into rugby? If so explain why?

  • I'm in love

  • WoW.. I thought he was Heath Ledger for a moment

  • @mrconradhoppe LOL, he wasnt in brokeback mountain! that was heathledger lol

  • "I would love to give something back..." LOL

    What a top bloke. After all his injury problems, its great to see Wilko back to his very best.

  • i play flyhalf... and i want to be like this guy right here.. he is a good kicker great runner and passer and a hard hitter... whatta beast

  • Wilkinson is England's Greatest ever Rugby Player bar none!!! He's also a jolly good fellow so to all you sad know nothings who are bad mouthing him wait for 2011 and see who is Worlds best 10 then!! Graham Henry knows already!!!

  • omg i remember meeting him after a game at newcastle

    i had like a major crush on him for 2 years!!!

    he's a great guy

  • Wow, you're really emotional aren't you? :P In a good way I mean

  • haha yep i suppose i am

  • What a cook! "Quantum physics and buddhism have helped me understand the world" he has been quoted saying...what the hell? The guy has taken too many knocks on his drop-goal-obsessed skull!

  • How dare you sir! Jonny 'Wilko' Wilkinson is a national treasure and a credit to the nation. Embracing science and religion are merely the next steps on his journey to immortality. And what's cooking got to do with it ???- just because he shuns the overexposed world of the celebrity chefs and their televisual posturing (Wilko wants no part of that nonsense, let me tell you) - you have a pop at him! Shame on you.

  • Comment removed

  • @willsno8 shut up before i come and knock the heel out of your skull. on and off the field jonny is top man

  • I have to agree with andrian007, I don't normally appreciate younger persons getting accolades of the highest order but as a proud Englishman, a die hard ERFU fan this guy makes me proud to be English with his achievements and his demeanour. I would love to see JW knighted.

  • Johnny did gr8! this saturday they are against argentina!!! i hope they win!!!

  • johnny played so well against australia today!!!. we lost anyway ;(

  • Great, wasn't he? A pleasure to have you back, Mr W.

  • That's pretty hard core, just training with no one else. It takes a certain kind of person to do something like that. This man has achieved so much he should be knighted!

  • We South Africans haven't been blessed with an abundance of great flyhalves over the last 10 years so we are extremely jealous of the English and their Jonny but it is always a pleasure watching a fully fit JW strutting his stuff. He is in that handful of all time greats.

  • He's a class act - much like your good self.

  • @TheJezc12 Finally a non-english person who admits just how good Jonny is! Thankyou

  • @TheJezc12 its nice to see someone from another country applauding a talent from another. Rugby is a community and these comments help. As an Englishman I love it when we play the big southern three purely because it means we are playing the best teams in the world. Beating them is an even better feeling (not in recent times!!!) Also I have friends who are south african and it makes for a fun rivalry. Best of luck for the wc next year.

  • @TheJezc12 thats a nice thing to say from a non-brit! Respect mate!

  • @TheJezc12 I respect that opinion of a south african very much! most south africans i know simply hate england.. So it's lovely to see a comment like that from a south african!

  • It's an absolute travesty that Wilkos career was blighted with injury. His autobiography is the most engaging i've ever read. One of the greatest number 10s and a seemingly sound guy to boot.

  • not just an amazing athlete he's probably one of the smartest athletes in the world the man is just articulate

  • well he is a pretty intelligent guy, unfortunately you can tell that he has never done an interview before, he looks quite shy. But yea he is very well educated. It seems like he doesn't like the fame very much, he is pretty modest as people go.

  • Parabat7 jealousy isn't a nice a feature just cos hes made something of his life unlike you doesn't mean you should slag everyone off for their faults

  • Even us Irish think JW is a legend, the best 10 of the modern era, after ROG (only joking!).

  • jonny sexton, now he is gunnu be amazing!!!

  • So true! He's got it all.... wait and see, people.

  • He's been so unlucky since 2003 :(

  • such a nice genuine guy

    luv him 2 bits!

    xxx

  • Jonny's eyes are close together.

  • Has anyone got this full interview. I remember his opinion on obsession and would like to hear it again

  • he looks like Heath Ledger.....!!!!

  • paravat mate, no one likes a saw looser!

    espeshially one that whines all the time!

    get over yourself!

  • parabat seriously, did you not see the build up to that kick? all the forward play etc, matt dawsons crucial run. your telling me that if your country was in that position you wouldnt of kicked it? oh sorry we just had someone who was regraded as the worlds best kicker so why the hell not. and dont start bringing ELV's into it, since they had been in plans since the year before. do abit of research before opening your mouth.

  • OMG THERE HE IS! XX

  • He's so cute especially on 2:30 when he says he wants to "give something back" lol bless him x

  • Fittt!

  • Wow! Heath Ledger? :O

  • so sad for him, training all week, he doens't meet a person...

    must be lonely.

  • parabat, what the fuck was the point in your last comment?

    if you dont like jonny wilkinson, keep it to yourself?!

  • @parabat7 haha what a retard , you do know that rugby is an english game right ? thicko

  • Total Legend!!

  • If Dan Carter is genius, Johnny is pure wizardry!

  • dylanmarc07

    I will back you there Bud

  • Carter is a better ball player but Johnny is the best under intense pressure, carter folded like a cheap tent in the last world cup.

  • nah mate - other way around

  • wax jacket? haha

  • LMAO also wax jacket

    Anyway whats wrong with wax jackets :)

  • You quite sure about what your chatting about you goon. The reason he kicked in the last few minutes is... hmmm, lemme think. coz it won us the fucking game. If we'd of had 10 or more minutes left im sure he wouldnt of kicked it and gone for a team play and try to get a greater lead than 3 points.

    What do you have to say about that Paratwat.

  • his a good lad like becham 2

  • jonny is amazing he is known worldwide isnt he?? hope your knee injury gets better soon and the op goes well! see you next season - hoping to meet you again!

  • fuck off "joeboosh1" your fucking boring

  • why would a number 8 kick parabat7

    idiot

  • mate, sort your fucking life out yeah?

  • sweet as....

  • Im irish & respect dis guy...savage player & person...just a pure pro in every since of d word!!!Just a pitty alot of his career he was injured....cant imagine wat his scoring record would hav been now if those injurys didnt happen.....pure pro

  • COME On !!

    Jonny is the best 10 ever ,he's just injurie prone which is the only reason ne1 can even wisper Carter,Cipriani, Hook , who ever being as good

    When he was fit i.e 2002 six nations 2003 world cup he was untouchble

  • Yeah he's won the World Cup!!!

  • steyn is shit a drop goals, and an overall shit player... he has a shit percentage when it comes to drop goals... where as jonny used to nail almost evry drop goal he had... and he was concidered to be one of the best fly halfs of all time so be quiet

  • hmmm ... me thinks you don't understand exactly what sort of a person makes a chav!!/

  • 'siyabulela365'.... uh, you my friend, are a dick.

  • Love the guy to bits, but - a little sad.

  • yeah Wilko is real Gentlemen, and gave so much for the game of Rugby, leave where u from and just try to listen to wht he saying.There is good moral tht v cud learn out of it.

  • Johnny Wilinkson - my brother, & England's son. The reason we won the World Cup is because we had a man of morals, a good man, a decent man playing for us. God smiled on us that day. But our hero's time is now over, Wilkinson has left. And yet, we haven`t learnt our lessons-our team is now plagued by immoral thugs who have no passion, no respect & only selfish ideals (Cipriani etc). Perhaps, when we need Wilkinson again, he will answer our call, & will fight for us all again in 2011?

  • Who said I was your mate. I'm the guy that will be sitting behind you at Twickers laughing at your team implode in a few weeks time. You'll want to knock me for six.

  • I'm gonna be siiting cheering on England at Twickers against Australia and New Zealand, :D

  • He produced the greatest moment in sport history that I have ever witnessed.

    Thank you

  • Carter has 24 tries to Wilkinson's 6. I think Wilkinson is the one who's over hyped.

  • wilkinsons won a world cup, carter went missing against france in the last one. carter is the best around at the moment though, and i enjoy watching him play.

  • Carter is the best at the moment? He's made Jonny look average since the moment he shrugged off his tackle in the 2005 Lions tour.

  • You are gorgeous Johnny- I think you are so morally sound and a clean cut guy-

    You make my day!!

    Your thoughts are an inspiration to young kids and the respect you must get is amazing

    You are a hero!!

    No wonder guys like you get the most beautiful women in the world

    I see why footballers are so envied!!

    I love English football and this is one of the reasons why!!

    The girls and women must adore you!!!

  • Just wait till you see Dan Carter at Twickenham. He's even better.

  • he plays rugby!

  • Yes I know- my son plays rugby too and I watch the rugby so I know he does- but I meant both footballers and rugby players are admired by kids as it is the sport which attracts them. I like this man's clean cut image.

  • I still would have left yesterdays newspaper in the rubbish bin.

  • Shame Parkinson couldn't get Carter on the show and had to put up with Johny

  • HE IS SO GREAT RUGBY 4 EVA

  • was gunna say its "jonny" ya tool

    and hu da hell said come on ronan o'gara?! he's gd bt nt tha gd

    and paterson is wank compared to the rubber jonny

  • its spelt "jonny" not johnny

  • good man!!!

    wt a ledgend!!

  • aww he is such an English gentleman!

  • Come on Ronan O Gara!!!

  • He's not good he is great and he is the worlds greatest number 10 as for the others percy danny cip or any of the others mertens etc they simpley can not play like JONNY nor tackel like him or kick under pressure like him so lets be honest here he is A world great

  • He´s good, but his not the best. We have to remember Percy Montgomery, Dan Carter, and Felipe Contepomi, that guy from Argentina is in the ranking of the 5 best kickers in the world, he´s at 4 place, Percy montgomery is at first, and Dan Carter at second, hes good, but not inaf like montgomery.

  • I'm not sure on this but as a pure kicker I believe the person with the highest kicking success is Patterson of Scotland correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure I heard that on Scrum V or something

  • Legend...

  • just yummy...

  • hmm, agree about the cipriani thing, but you know, jonny is a legend as a man and a rugby player, with cipriani, well, we have to wait and see!

  • i love him!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i was one of those girls that were under eleven that loved him before the world cup 2003!!and i still love him now 4 1/2 years on!!!

  • haha me too - i seriously thought i was going to marry him at one point lol :D

  • wow! must have put u down when u realized u werent xD

  • lol yeah i got over it... eventually.. :D

  • haha ... dnt worry im sure u weren't the only one .... dnt worry not me im a guy

  • me too i was obssessd lol

  • i enjoyed so much the video, but i can't understand the two parts when jonny and the other man laugh.. why are they laughing? would someone be so kind as to explain me?? thanks :)

  • well most of the jokes were because, jonny has alot of fans and alot of girl fans, and when he ment give something back to the fans, that can mean anything give back money, or give back love :p so yeh they thought that was funny, its a pity ur only getting answered 2 months later haha

  • thanks a lot anyway :D

  • I love johnny!!!! I live in Rome... call me

  • always be the pride of england. greatest ever points scorer in test rugby history and that says it all. but... cipriani, man. cipriani. the lads a fucking machine. love you johnny, always will but... cipriani...

  • sort of agree with u but dont want to believe it

  • i dont get it u ppl r so dumb how can u luv him hes got a wife now u no so haha anyways stephen larkham will always be the greatest ever fly half in the world and in rugby history for me (im english btw)

  • Jonny is lovely and humble and a real man!!! Other straight men should look up to him as a role model of how a real man should behave!! We will have a better world without war and violence!!!!

    we love Jonny!!!!

  • shut up why should we look at him as a role modle im a young person yh only just got into rugby 2 years ago i play for ma school were really good but i dont look at johnny as ma role model i look at stephen larkham coz hes a much better player and when u say a world without war and violence is better wat man is gonna listen to u thats just pussy

  • a legendary POOF!

  • He's just GREAT...GOOOO Johnny!!!!

  • and after ...can you explain me too please ??lol! what he said ?? the public laugh too !! (2.30min) !!

  • They were talking about how he is a sex symbol, and Wilko said he was very flattered and likes to give something back (meaning signing stuff etc.) but it sounded like he meant it in a sexual way! That is why everyone laughed!  That Help?

  • yes !! thank you !!!

  • I understand for 1.50 min , but not before ! (1.20 min )

  • Did your question get answered, or would you like me to help?

  • he's so modest! after everything he's done he could brag and have the biggest ego in the world. but he keeps is head down to earth. a honourable and noble man, if i could be half the man he is i would be happy

  • hes the kind of hero everyone wants, not to shy, not to overegotastic, hes just pure, brilliant, and one hell of an athlete

    LONG LIVER JOHNNY!

  • I am 51 now never thought I would idolise anyone again and then Jonny turned up.
