ST MARY’S RUGBY.
St Mary's Paddington a rugby powerhouse
There are 16 full internationals who emanated from just one hospital, albeit one of the most famous teaching hospitals in the world - namely St Mary's Paddington.St Mary's can boast no fewer than three England captains - Tuppy Owen-Smith, Tommy Kemp and Edward Scott - while another five graduates wore the red rose with distinction - Nim Hall, Norman Bennett, Lew Cannell, Trevor Wintle and Kevin Simms. Over in the Welsh camp they produced the great JPR Williams, Richard
Wintle
, RN Wade and David
Rocyn
-Jones, the latter a former president of the Welsh Rugby Union.
From Ireland there was Jim Murphy O'Connor - a No8 and possibly the first player to use the round-the-corner style of goal-kicking at international level and the brother of Cardinal Cormack Murphy O'Connor, D J
Cussen
, and A
McGibbon
. Finally they also produced a Scotland cap, namely Army doctor N M Campbell in 1956.Slide21
