  • Exclusive Interview: Andy Williams, Knee Surgeon to the Stars, Maps out Road Back for Virgil Van Dijk
    NEWS WEBSITE OF THE YEAR My Feed Coronavirus News Politics Sport Business Money Opinion Tech Life Style Travel See all Sport Exclusive interview: Andy Williams, knee surgeon to the stars, maps out road back for Virgil van Dijk Orthopaedic consultant has saved the careers of countless sportspeople including Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Ings and Jonny May By Jason Burt, CHIEF FOOTBALL CORRESPONDENT 20 October 2020 • 1:28pm 9 If Virgil van Dijk is seeking solace as he confronts the long, painful path to recovery from his serious knee ligament injury, Andy Williams is probably the man to provide it. Williams is regarded as the world’s foremost surgeon when it comes to ACL and knee injuries and there is not a professional footballer who has not heard of him. The 56-year- old has saved countless careers including Van Dijk's current and former team-mates at Liverpool - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Ings - Newcastle's new £20 million signing Callum Wilson, whom he operated on four times, and England rugby wing Jonny May. It remains to be seen whether Williams will be involved in Van Dijk's recovery, but whilst this interview took place before the Dutchman's ill-fated collision with Jordan Pickford at Everton last Saturday, his words provide a blueprint on how to manage a recovery. ADVERTISING Trust is fundamental to the relationship between patient and doctor, and Williams has earned it from his clients - so much so that everyone mentioned by him in our interview at the Fortius Clinic where he works in central London gave consent for their cases to be discussed.

  • Originally Known As the R
    Example of a John Player rugby cup Originally known as the R.F.U Club Competition, for which no cup was awarded nor sponsorship sought, it was renamed the John Player Cup in 1976, Gosforth beating Rosslyn Park in the Final. The first competition took place in 1972, and Gloucester were crowned inaugural champions, defeating Moseley in the final, 17 to 6. Coventry won two titles in succession in 1973 and 1974, and after Bedford's championship win in 1975, Gosforth also won two in succession, in 1976 and 1977. Gloucester won their second title in 1978. The competition was then dominated by Leicester, who won three championships in a row, until Gloucester won their third title in 1982. This was shared with Moseley after a 12-12 draw in extra time, and was the only time the cup was shared between two teams. Leicester were again in the final in 1983, but lost to Bristol. Leicester's record run was then broken by Bath from 1984-87, who won the John Player Cup four times in a row, until Harlequins won their first in 1988. The John Player Cup was named after John Player, a nineteenth century Nottinghamshire businessman. John Player had his own factory that made cigarettes and the company ultimately grew to become a huge concern known as John Player & Sons. We don’t have the John Player Cup today because tobacco advertising has been banned on health grounds as it is believed that if tobacco companies sponsor sports it encourages people to smoke. Today, John Player Special and John Player King Size are manufactured by Imperial Tobacco, whereas John Player Gold Leaf is manufactured by British American Tobacco (in some countries), and ranks as one of the best selling and popular tobacco products in Pakistan.
