Jonny Wilkinson's career comes to an end shortly, but in the past few years he's managed to get the best out of a body that has suffered with injury throughout. Rugby writer and commentator Eddie Butler pays tribute to the great flyhalf, who is ending his career on a high with Toulon.

All that remains is a Top 14 final, the ultimate prize for the French team that have put together something special down south. A Rugby World Cup, Heineken Cup and possibly a Top 14 title. Not a bad little career for a player that considers himself totally over-rated. 

'Adored from one end of the continent to the other, all around the rugby playing world.'

    Gentleman. One of my heroes. If I have half the humility and good-nature of that man when I'm older, I'll be privileged.
