John MacGregor Kendall-Carpenter

One of the truly 'great' names in world rugby

'Carps' won 23 England caps (1949-54), and was also a legendary Oxford University 'Blue' and 'Barbarian'.

He served as President of the England RFU (1980-81), the England Schools Rugby Football Union (1985-90), and Cornwall (1984-87).

However, his arguably greatest honour was to be Chairman of the committee that organised the first Rugby World Cup in 1987.
