Mr Leonard is a legend. I recall the West Sussex schools rugby awards. We had tried various people and were being asked for limos, overnight hotels etc. Mr Leonard said make a donation to wooden spoon. On the day he arrived gave the prizes and chatted with the children about their rugby. Not once did the world cup winner speak about himself. He even declined a beer...... An awesome day the club still talks about.

Jason is an absolute legend and a real pleasure to meet.

I have always loved this man on the pitch, fortunately met him once & he was exactly the awesome bloke I hoped he was!

I Would listen to jason leonard all day

The Goat Killer .... I'd heard this story before but I'd never heard the legend himself tell it. I'm late to this podcast but that's 3 great episodes in a row now!!

The man, the myth, the legend. Would love have to have had him in Irish green! 😉☘️

All the guest have been brilliant, but Jason Leonard has been the best. Loved all the stories. Brilliant.

Jason Leonard attended one of our rugby matches in the Military. It was a game with a mix of lads from the Navy and The Royal Marines. He then joined us in the bar and gave a speech and said exactly what he said about his thoughts about sport and rugby. About being mates and having fun. I couldn’t agree more. He is not only a legend but a true gentleman. But with all his accolades from a World Cup winner to a true ultimate Lion he is still out done at every single Sunday lunch at home because his brother was a Royal Marine. Guys the show is absolutely awesome and really enjoy the podcast. Respect to all.

The first 3 episodes have really set the bar high for the future

This is with out doubt the best interview ever. The respect between Tindal & Leonard is so obvious its a delight to watch.

Nice piece boys. I think Jason is just really respected as a real throwback amateur era player who of course also made a good career into the pro era. As an Ireland fan, he's definitely one we approve of!! 👊

Absolute legend. Remember being a young kid at the stoop running on the pitch when that was allowed back in the day many a time and he would always stop for a picture and a chat. Bloody good bloke.

Jason seems like an absolute legend to party with, a naturally funny chap.

Watch this one a couple of times now. It still cracks me up. What a man. Cheeky but also very professional. Would like to see him again. Stories by the boatfull I think

very good interview - love hearing stories from the amateur era, in that aspect

Jason gave trophies to players at our under 13's tour in Sussex one year, total gent and he really took time with the kids quality guy.

Still chuckling at the sheep flying past to the ravine. Thank you boys cracking interview

To quote Jason, “loved absolutely every minute of it” - great episode - thanks GBR team

Three from three! Absolutely fantastic, Jason is a complete gentleman and a legend of the game!

Brilliant! 0ne of rugby's all time greats, not just because of his achievements, but his attitude towards the game.

My favourite Leonard story - and i hope it's not urban myth - is of an England team meeting where Jack Rowell was going through the video replay and there was a passage where Leonard had took the ball to ground where there was a man outside begging for it. Rowell said to Leonard: "Jason, that pass should have gone". Leonard's retort: "Jack, if it coulda gone, it woulda went!"

Loved this! Well done to all involved.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Always has been and always will be my hero. Absolute legend and great watching.

All Aboard The Fun Bus!!! What a legend. Absolutely full of great stories. Heard some of these before but still funny each time!! Great show lads

Great stuff. Some fantastic stories 🤙🍺

I don’t think people will ever understand how great it is to have an Essex born son (a county that is far too invested in football) be England’s great rugby player, front row representative and ground roots ambassador. The sport, like cricket, has been dominated by privileges southerners and northerners who are too good to ignore. Essex has been ignored before Jason’s time and is only just being tapped into for the sporting talent it has.

That story with the goat on a chain and a ravine after a night out at a pub had me in stitches while still leaving me with my mouth wide open 😂😂😂

Top lad to be fair.. should be another great episode.!!

Another great show 👏👏👏👏

Great episode . We all know Mike's at the big gaff the palace

Excellent episode

Having started myself playing through Barking and playing at Jason’s testimonial in Cardiff as the prematch warm up game, what a bloke Jason is!

Got my Club colours up in Leigh from Fran Cotton and it really was an awesome day.

Another great video and great guest

That was absolutely fantastic, Jason was one of my heroes growing up. The one man you definitely want to have a pint with. Brilliant podcast

Classic guy and classic Interview.

Now that's more like it. Proper legend!

I’d love to see Lewis Moody on, seems like a great bloke 👍

One of the greatest 'modern day' World Class props to have played the game. Could have walked into any International side and been an invaluable asset. Extremely, brutally powerful, yet mobile, linked brilliantly and had 'soft hands' in the passing role. Never took a backward step in adversity. Loved watching Jase play. Tindall was a tough bugger too.

Shot for every "in that aspect...".

Class! What a gent. I would love to have a beer with him. Very good episode.

Excellent chaps

The neck story reminds me of the tale I was told about Phil Blakeway who broke his neck playing for Gloucestershire in Cornwall and drove himself back home! They made 'em tough!

great to Tind's busting Leonards chops

Jason Leonard- He IS Legend!

blimey i thought the previous two were good, but this gentlemen, was brilliant! youve stepped this pod up a level for sure! well done chaps!

Great questions payno

Looking forward to this. Loving Payne’s half zip choice!

Just great Jason come. Back any time.👍😂🍷

Total legend, fantasy 😂😂😂😂

What a legend of the game fair play a true pro but I think an even better man, what an epic pod well done all.

! ! F U N B U S ! ! - Legend. Keep up the good work that MSM fails to provide.

keep on keeping on

Payno's Players 10 could be a good name for the Quiz! Great Episode!

What a Bloke, top quality episode

Top interview with a truly great ambassador for the game - Your big problem now is that nobody's going to want to follow that...

Great show. Would it be possible to get JP Doyle on to talk about the sudden redundancy and experience as a top ref?

i really enjoy this pod!! any chance you guys could get some women guests on? & next week discuss what’s been going on with Canterbury & the Irish RFU (using models instead of players to promote kit, whereas the men’s kit was worn by male players) and the #IAmEnough hashtag? its only happened today but would love to hear your input & to see this brought up on a platform as big as the one you guys have to encourage a discussion around sexism in rugby. thanks! :)

As a prop I’ve always thought the world of Jason ..

I remember Gareth Archer......1992, I'm 17 and playing against Durham School. Got knocked out cold by Gareth with a single punch to the face. First thing I knew about it they were rolling me on my side pulling my gum shield out of my mouth. Broke my nose into 3 different pieces.

Great show guys - Payno please could you arrange for all your guests to have a camera at eye level?

I am off to the westcliffe hotel to check lol

Rocky Clark is also over 100 caps 😊

In that aspect

What a man absolute legend, im from east london too north east, hope he comes down my UNI again at Queen Mary.

What a great guy. I hope he gets to be an astronaut. Without training for it.

No one else find it a better pod without Hask?

In 91,had a few nights with big norm in the princess of Wales in blackheath,top man

How many times does he use the word ‘aspect’

Great stuff again. Always reminds me of a chatty builder!! Although please Jason, it's "in that respect" not aspect!!

What a amazing guy, I bet everyone loves him even after he’s hammered them on the pitch or maybe even off it

In that aspect...

Is tins drink Cornish Gold?

Thank you Mr Leonard, an absolute gent of a man. Tins, hats off sir, great shift. Mr Payne, standard level of excellence. Annoyingly, I miss hask (but f**k him)

Okk

Rugby league is a totally different game .

Ok

big fan so far, but maybe a bit of diversity would be good

The sheep story as good as it was is not actually true..Jimmy Tarbuck was telling the same joke 40 years ago..

Ok no k

Alex, you are so privileged to interview these guys - legends. You just come across as “privileged”. Up your game or give this to someone better. Nice guy, but wasting the opportunity.

Is this going to continue to be an England love fest or will you be giving any airtime to any of the other home nations? I don't mind if it is but would rather know so I don't have to keep watching.

A real cringe when Tindall seeks to assert his local rugby club credentials, just one of the guys toughing it out....Minchinhgampton Club is positioned in one of the poshest villages in the Cotswolds, which is saying something. It is sandwiched in between Minchinhamton Common, 450 acres of elevated public grassland and right next door to Gatcombe Park Princess Annes country residence, an 18th century Manor 9 bedded pad with staff accomodation etc, snuggled in her own 730 acres of Parkland, which he lives next door to of course. That's a more honest appraisal of where he and the Club are at...
