Halliday bows out as centre of excellence
Article Abstract:
Simon Halliday, 31, was an Oxford cricket and rugby blue in 1981 and played rugby for Bath and Somerset until his ankle was injured in 1983. After an operation in 1990, he made a comeback playing for Harlequins but was advised not to play for more than a year as he would have a limp in later life. He played for England against Canada in 1982 and was on the England side three times in 1987. In 1991 he played for Harlequins in the Grand Slam while working in the city as a stockbroker; his last game was the Pilkington cup final for Harlequins against Bath on May 2 1992.
