Jeremy Guscott
One of the greatest ball-players in rugby history, Jeremy Guscott is an England international rugby legend who played 65 times for his country scoring over 100 points. An extremely talented centre, he represented his country on the international stage for over a decade, playing in some of the biggest matches in world rugby. Now, he’s regarded as one of the most popular rugby speakers around, always delighting audiences with his entertaining events.
Starting out as a bricklayer upon leaving school as well as a bus driver, when he joined Bath in 1984, the game was still amateur and he combined playing with working for British Gas in a PR role. The sport became professional in 1995, and at his rugby speaking events is able to discuss the difference this made to his life and career.
Jeremy spent the entirety of his domestic career at his hometown club, Bath, representing them for 16 years. During this time he helped win six Premiership titles and become European champions in 1998. As one of the most enlightening rugby after-dinner speakers around, Jeremy can discuss this era of success, explaining how they achieved such high-profile victories.
In 1989 Jeremy made his debut for England and made quite an impact. Scoring a hattrick against Romania, he also was called up to the British and Irish Lions squad in the same year where he made a series-winning contribution in the second and third tests. An extremely versatile player, in 1995 he was often deployed on the wing during the Five Nations, showing his selfless nature and dedication to the team. In 1997 he scored the winning drop goal in the second test for the Lions as they defeated South Africa, with his final international coming at the 1999 World Cup against Tonga. At all of his rugby speaking events, Jeremy is able to discuss the pride he felt representing his country, as well as recall some excellent anecdotes from his international career.
Jeremy retired from rugby in 2000 and has gone on to become a regular pundit for the BBC’s coverage of Six Nations and World Cup matches. His excellent insight and unique perspective on the game are always a hit with audiences, and this is something he can display on all his speaking occasions. Plus, in 2016 he was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame, showing how well regarded he remains within the sport.
