Martin Johnson’s time as England boss ended over a decade ago but the stories of their disastrous 2011 World Cup campaign.
On 1 July 2008 he became the England team manager. Under his management England won the 2011 Six Nations Championship, which was their first since 2003.
However, he left the post in November 2011 following England’s quarter final defeat at the 2011 Rugby World Cup and has not taken another management position in the game since.
His underperforming England side had five players included in Eurosport’s worst team of the tournament.
#1. Mike Tindall
Eurosport wrote: “The England captain’s antics in an Auckland bar – which involved a mystery blonde who may or may not have been a former squeeze kissing his forehead – overshadowed the entire group stage for England.
“His on-pitch displays were equally lacklustre, and all the signs suggest that he will now retire disgracefully from rugby to a lifetime of negotiating a rocky royal marriage.”
