Jason Leonard
Jason Leonard OBE (born 14 August 1968), also known as The Fun Bus, is an English former rugby union prop forward who held the world record for winning the most international caps until 2005, when it was surpassed by Australia's scrum-half George Gregan. He also held the record for total international appearances when his five caps with the British and Irish Lions were included until 17 June 2006, when it was overtaken by Gregan. Leonard has 119 caps (114 for England) to Gregan's 139 with Australia. Leonard's record as the world's most-capped forward stood until 2013, when it was overtaken by Richie McCaw. As an England player, Leonard won the highest international accolades possible: Grand Slams (1991, 1992, 1995 and 2003) and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. He also won a British and Irish Lions Test series (on the 1997 tour of South Africa). In 2015, he was announced as the new president of the Rugby Football Union.

His lengthy career straddled both the amateur and professional eras and he had a job as a carpenter. He began playing for his home club, Barking and his school teams as a youth, and as his playing talents became recognised, interest was shown by London club Saracens, where he later moved. Later still, he moved to Harlequins, where he stayed until his professional retirement in May 2004, making a total of 144 appearances and ending on a winning note as his team won the European Parker Pen Challenge Cup. He would have made a far greater number of club appearances if it had not been for the constant international demands of England and the British and Irish Lions.
