« Carter's Perpignan career over after just five games | | Ten reasons why the Six Nations is great »

February 3, 2009

Beaumont falls on hard times?

Many would have been sad to read that Barry John has opted to put some personal memorabilia up for sale. We are assured the King John is not hard-up and that he merely has no time for nostalgia and who are we to question although I dare say the Welsh Rugby Union may be in contact to check.

Elsewhere, another former great was hawking his wares this week - and on national TV to boot. You could have got your hands on a set of commemorative mugs once owned by Bill Beaumont or a couple of ornate candle holders that have graced the great man's home or some fine pewter jugs. But do not fear, this is not another money-making scheme for a player who recently announced plans for a playing comeback - he was doing a good deed on behalf of the Wooden Spoon charity on that daytime TV staple Cash in the Attic. To see the big man in action with his gavel just click here.
