Lawrence Dallaglio, a prominent figure in England's rugby history, is set to part ways with his prestigious 2003 Rugby World Cup winner's medal as part of an auction due to his bankruptcy.
The auction, scheduled for October 13 in Northamptonshire, will feature memorabilia from Dallaglio's illustrious career, including trophies, medals, and caps, following financial setbacks stemming from a costly divorce.
Dallaglio, who captained the England team during their World Cup victory 23 years ago, highlighted the emotional toll of his divorce and subsequent bankruptcy, revealing the need for therapy to cope with the aftermath.
The collection, curated by auctioneer Budds, encompasses 22 items from Dallaglio's esteemed career, with the World Cup medal alone expected to fetch between £50,000 and £80,000, contributing to an estimated total value of £180,000 (R3.9 million).
