Like many people I can remember where I was when Jonny Wilkinson scored the drop goal that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
At that moment Wilkinson had the world at his feet. He was good looking, articulate and a genuine sporting hero.
Sadly for Wilkinson he had an injury but that would heal...... well it did but everytime he has tried to come back he has picked up an injury. He has never played for his country again and he in 3 years he can't have played more than a dozen times for his club.
He is still ony 27 but it is beginning to look like he'll never make it at the really highest level.
To me it seems a tradgedy for someone who had the world in his hands but whatever happens he still has that seminal moment that most of us dream of.
