Jeremy Guscott: The Magic of an England Rugby Legend

[@mikebothwell2905]

Had forgotten how good this fella was. Anticipation, silky smooth and very fast.

[@johnspartan3465]

my fave player growing up, very underated

[@roderickherbert7233]

GENTLEMAN PLAYER....SMOOOOTH AND DANGEROUS TO HIS OPPONENTS.......WORLD CLASS

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Jerry & Will. Superb. It was my era. 🏉 What an era.

[@JamesSmith-iz3pl]

Stumbling drop goal off his left foot! Unbelievable! But what a combo with Will Carling, who created the space for Guscott's pace.

[@ldfreitas9437]

One of the best centers ever.

[@stevef9530]

Guscott with Carling, Wilkinson, Andrew, the Underwood brothers and the rest were the England team that got me into rugby, the real beautiful game. Thanks guys….

[@stephenreeds3632]

Carling/Guscott. What a combination.

[@MarquitoRH]

That is what you call a show reel! Amazing gas for a centre 😮

[@neilcarpenter2669]

A Rolls Royce of a centre, in my opinion he was one of the most naturally talented players to have played the game, some players see the game in slow motion and he was one of those and on top of that he had real acceleration, England haven't produced anyone like him since he retired, to be fair I'm not sure any other countries have either, different but not like him. I watched him play many games for Bath and he always backed himself he never seemed to fear making a mistake if he thought it was on he would take the attacking option regardless of field position and that takes great mental courage, physical courage is a given but Mental courage is something rarer.

[@keep_it_tidy56]

Fine player, the guy who called him a Rolls Royce centre is spot on. These clips bring back many happy memories, especially the ‘97 drop goal for the Lions against SA, which I watched in a Jo’burg bar.

[@richardredmond1463]

Gibson, Sella, Guscott, Nonu, O'Driscoll .... ♥️

[@rh5466]

I remember Frank Bunce saying that when he was a player, Guscott was the only opposite number he ever feared.

[@montybrewster7]

It's easy to forget just how good JG was in his day. Class player who din't shrink on the big occassions.

[@ignatiusgyepi-garbrah792]

Jerry was truly a prince among Centers really top top player

[@andrewkelly7799]

As an Irish rugby supported, he broke alot of hearts, but as a rugby supporter, he defined a generation of great rugby (with Rob Andrew) that is up there with the greats. I never tire of watching great skill; I do not enjoy watching thugery and crash test dummys. He will be remembered as one of the great centres (with Sonny Bill Williams, O'Driscoll, Sella, Horan, Carling...)

[@logosg]

And Conrad Smith 😄

[@rh5466]

Always loved this guy. Since I was a kid, always my favorite.

[@johnf991]

A very balanced and smooth runner, could come off either foot, genuine pace and an ability to see space. Saw him play for Bath when they were the guest side at the Middlesex 7s many years ago and we were all thinking that he was a flashy, lazy, player who fancied himself, didn't seem to add much, as if he was coasting through trying not to get hurt and then - BANG - the after-burners would go on and he was through a gap and scored, or made a try for somebody else. I'm not sure anyone laid a finger on him all afternoon. Very classy.

[@dco1929]

great player ,

[@sundijohnson2486]

Smooth running style...

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

Met Jerry a few days ago. Reallt good guy

[@marktucker7976]

Best outside centre ever IMO

[@GaryDuncanson-s4g]

Good player. A match winner

[@jongreen9171]

Best centre to play for England

[@mdjcsmith]

Another classic video, great work!

[@RealRugby]

Thanks!

[@YARROWS9]

Finley Calder. The captain of the winning British Lions team of 1989. Said this guy was a nighmare to play against but a joy to have on your side.

[@wattiewatt]

I always enjoyed seeing JG playing, even if he was on the wrong side .There's a little extra bit of magic when he and Toonie are on form.

[@TAG1801]

drop goal off either foot..impressive

[@daramaccarthy]

Carling distribution 👍

[@MERISI001]

There was a certain style to Jeremy Guscott's game. One minute you wonder where he is and the next second he's over the line and you wonder where he came from. One of the greats.

[@terminallyinquisitive1731]

Carling and Guscott- has there ever been a better England centre partnership? Telepathic understanding. Brilliantly defencely too.

[@KmT81]

Knew the guy only in 98 5 Nations against France ,he was THE RUNNER : JERRY GUSCOTT !Legend !.

[@rh5466]

I was waiting for this. Missed some from the '93 Lions and from his Bath career, but otherwise great vid.

[@hideowatanabe8941]

ガスコット、カーリング、アンドリュー、アンダーウッドの時代が一番強かったと今でも思う。 ガスコットは本当に柔らかい

[@stephenreeds3632]

To think that he was dropped for flippin de Granville. Beyond belief.

[@billybones6137]

He was rapid. Defense improved later in his career too.

[@jordy46682]

That's the epitome of "act like you've been there before" after scoring a try. 😅 Compared to today's almost American football style celebrations!

[@stevenlurie1215]

Bill McLaren what a legend

[@Jaysusitsme]

RIP King

[@puddingcook1]

how many tries did carling make for gusgott?

[@PeterJPickles]

My mate was driving us to Rawtenstall, Northwest of England, when we passed some charity runners and at the front was Jeremy Guscott, so I leaned out of the window and shouted "keep them knees up Jezza" he looked at me and told me to f**k off, bit of a p***k is old Jezza.

[@nicolasnott2739]

He was a Fly Half when I played with him (very briefly) for Bath Colts. Probably would have been a better Fly Half than the players he played with for England.

[@logosg]

Him and Halliday were big reasons for Bath’s dominance !

[@richardhutton3595]

Went missing when Wigan turned up !

[@tattyheid7279]

Was that professional Wigan vs amateur Bath?

[@bobbytreetop1701]

Went missing against Wigan .

[@julianfoster4015]

Did he really say "And the young dark lad..."

[@recipeasetested]

"The young Bath [his club team] lad." At least I really hope that's what he said

[@stephenreeds3632]

The partnership with Carling was superb but, by God, he's a moody bugger.

[@ronhall9394]

Guscott, good at going forward (sublime actually) iffy in defense and anti English in his commentary years. Funny fish really. edit as previously said by Steve - Bill McLaren LEGEND.

[@andymeighan8160]

Is he dead.

[@williamwallace4924]

He don’t look anglo saxon?.

[@moptopbaku6022]

Far too lightweight. Needed others to make space for him. Couldn't tackle to save his life. Vastly over-rated.

[@donovanblair1677]

That’s a little salty, no?
