 The youngest ever England captain at 22 , Will <unk> represented England in 72 Tests , and as captain 59 times between 1988 and 1996 . He was best known as a <unk> leader , motivating England to a remarkable three Grand Slams in five years , including back to back <unk> in 1991 and 1992 . He also led England to the final of the 1991 World Cup , and captained the <unk> FC . His playing talents were not as flamboyant as some of his colleagues , but his effectiveness cemented him as a first choice at centre . It is possible he would already be in the Hall of Fame were it not for outspoken tendencies with respect to the English RFU committee ( " Old <unk> " ) , who may as a result be reluctant to acknowledge his achievements . He was made an OBE in 1991 .
