Rugby player
Charles Ronald Jacobs (28 October 1928 – 10 November 2002[1]) was an English Rugby Union player. He played at prop for Northampton and England. He went to Oakham School in Rutland, where he captained the first XV in 1945. He studied agriculture at the University of Nottingham.
Jacobs played a club record 470 games for Northampton over a 17-year period and appeared 29 times for England - captaining them for his final two games in 1964.[2]
After retiring from playing, Jacobs remained involved in Rugby and became president of the Rugby Football Union in 1983 and was tour manager during the controversial 1984 England rugby union tour of South Africa.
