Sam Doble |
|
Sam Doble may have only won three caps for his country, but he was one of the game's most popular characters and his tragically early death in 1977 at the age of 33 was mourned throughout English rugby. In the 1971/72 domestic season he scored an astonishing 581 points for Moseley on his way to a career total of 3,651, being top scorer in senior British rugby for five seasons. |
