Dave Egerton, 1961 - 2021
Former Bath and England back row, Dave Egerton, has died at the age of 59.
He was awarded seven England caps between 1988 and 1990 and played for the British & Irish Lions against France in 1989.
A Bath legend, his 163 appearances during a decade at The Rec saw the team, under Jack Rowell, win five league titles and five domestic cups.
A back-row forward, who could also cover second row, he made his England debut at No 8 and played flanker for England in the 28-19 defeat of Australia at Twickenham in November 1988.
Said team captain on the day, Will Carling: “Dave was a humble, lovely guy. He was incredibly low key but an amazing athlete who could do most things as a player. He was just fantastic to have in the team, a huge player with a great smile. He will be a tremendous loss to the game.”
