Too small for football, now he hasn't a Care in the world
Chris Jones talks to Harlequins and England scrum-half Danny Care and discovers his path to the top of the oval ball game. Read his story in the Evening Standard.
"Manchester United can take credit for solving England's scrum-half problem after they helped to convince Danny Care his sporting future lay in rugby union, not professional football.
"Care, the Harlequins No9, was a hugely-frustrated 15-year-old in 2002 sitting on the bench in Sheffield Wednesday colours as they took on the most famous club in the world. He was desperate to prove the academy manager was wrong to tell him he was too small to become a professional with the round ball . . . but the chance never came."
