He's RFU President!
NEVER BEFORE had a Sussex representative become president of the Rugby Football Union. On Sunday at Twickenham, Worthing's Bob Rogers put that right.
A Worthing scrum-half between 1961 and 1983, who also captained the club and went on to hold several top offices, it is the pinnacle of a lifetime's involvement with rugby.
Having played for Sussex for seven years, he has been Sussex's RFU representative since the retirement of Ted Wynter in 1986. Since then Rogers has served on eight RFU committees and been chairman of three. A Worthing solicitor, he is probably best known at HQ for his three-year stint as chairman of the Amateur Status committee in the last decade.
