Ralph Knibbs
Ralph Knibbs was a professional rugby player for Bristol Rugby.
He made his debut as a seventeen-year-old against Pontypridd RFC in 1982, scoring with his first touch of the ball.〔("Where are they now? Bristol Rugby's glorious 1983 John Player Cup final winning side" ), July 11, 2015, The Bristol Post〕 Knibbs had a repertoire of running angles and scored many individual tries in his Bristol career which lasted until 1996. He played in the 1983 cup final as an eighteen-year-old, and represented Gloucestershire in all their games in the 1982/83 championship-winning campaign. He was also an accomplished basketball player, athlete and American football player prior to his rugby career. He played for the South West Division, England under-23s, and the England Sevens.
He turned down the chance to go on the 1984 England rugby union tour of South Africa, because of his opposition to apartheid.〔〔("Anti-Apartheid Movement Annual Report on Activities and Developments" ), 1984, via Aluka〕 He also declared himself unavailable for 1988 England rugby union tour of Australia and Fiji, due to work commitments, making him one of the only players ever to turn down England national rugby union team twice. Despite this, Knibbs made 436 appearances for Bristol Rugby, scoring 123 tries, and was vice-captain during the centenary season. he later captained Clifton Rugby Football Club where he ended his career.
On 18 February 2007 Knibbs was also named in The Sunday Times top 10 centres of time along with names such as Brian O'Driscoll and Simon Halliday by Bath rival Jeremy Guscott who described Knibbs as being "silky and absolutely superb" and whom admitted it was a "crying shame he never won an England cap".
