Jason’s former teammate Martin Bayfield coined the name FunBus for Jason whilst on tour together in South Africa in 1994 and it has stuck ever since.
The FunBus is a classic double decker Route Master bus that takes you and your guests, along with Jason and a couple of his old team mates, on the ultimate pub crawl as you tour the drinking spots of South West London and other routes.
Jason will be conductor for the tour, ensuring guests don’t go thirsty – as well as drinks at each stop, there will be beer on board to keep you hydrated!
Whether for Client Entertainment, Corporate Celebrations, Team Building & Bonding, Stag/Hen or a Private Party this unique tour is the perfect way to celebrate and (if you can handle your drink) is sure to be one to remember!
“28 pints” – Jason Leonard ranks rugby’s five biggest drinkers
The switch from amateurism to professional may have been a shock to the system for many players but the very best of them adapted. Leonard went on to make a then world record of 119 Test appearances [114 for England and five for the Lions] before he retired.
The pints were there but not as many of them as before.
Here, Leonard ranks the five biggest drinkers (excluding him) that he came across during his legendary career.
