Peter Jackson (rugby)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Jackson (born 1930, died 2004) is a former England rugby union international.
He earned the nickname 'Nijinsky' after the Russian ballet dancer.
He scored three tries in the 1957 Five Nations and helped England to their first grand slam since the Twenties.
In 1958 against Australia at Twickenham, he demonstrated his mastery of the feint to score a dazzling match-winning try. He then amazed the All Blacks on the 1959 Lions tour, scoring 16 tries in 14 games. He was described by one journalist as 'the zaniest runner of all time'.
