Roger Spong (1906–1980) was a rugby union international who represented England from 1929 to 1932.〔(Roger Spong Profile on scrum.com )〕〔 ==Early life==
Roger Spong was born on 23 October 1906 in Barnet〔 into the family that had founded and ran Spong and Co. Spong and Co had been founded by Roger's grandfather, James Osborn Spong (born in 1839 in Yardley Hastings, Northampton) the eldest son, and one of six children of, James Spong, originally of Kent, a minister, and his wife, Elizabeth Osborn. In 1856, when he was just 16, James Osborn founded Spong and Co, a company manufacturing hardware and wirework, making economic household utensils, or as they were then called, ‘domestic machinery’. The company became a household name and in 1882 was boasting sales of 200,000 mincers as well as being able to advertise that their mincing machine was owned by ‘Her Most Gracious Queen Victoria', the Admiralty and the War Office, and could be found in the mansions of the nobility, the mess-rooms of the army and navy at home and abroad, also in the universities, colleges and many other great institutions of England.〔(Graces Guide - Spong and Co )〕 James and his wife Frances Elizabeth Scott had a number of children, the eldest of whom was Roger's father, James William, (born in 1868). Like his father, James William was educated at Mill Hill School and in 1902 he joined his father's company. Shortly after joining the company, James William married Alice Spencer and they had Donald William in 1904 and Roger Spencer in 1906. Roger was educated, like his father and grandfather, at Mill Hill School.
