Gorgeous English rugby union player Jonny Wilkinson, nicknamed

Gorgeous English rugby union player, Jonny Wilkinson, nicknamed “Wilko” is our hottie of the day, and who can blame us?

Born in Surrey on the 25th May 1979 Wilko has always been very passionate about rugby and started playing from a very young age. In 2001 he became a member and player of the English rugby union team until 2003, when he moved on to bigger and better things; 2003 Rugby World Cup. Wilko was named one of the best rugby players.

Jonny disappeared from the world of sporting fame for a while up until 2007, because of various injuries to his knee ligaments, arm, kidney and shoulder. However Jonny was determined he wasn’t going to let this ruin his future in his favourite sport, and proved to his fans nothing would put him down by scoring 27 points, which was also a record in the Calcutter cup, in his first serious match, 2007 Six Nations Championship, since his injuries.

Wilko was awarded the Officer of the order of the British Empire (O.B.E) for his services to rugby in 2004. He was also called up by his country after playing only 58 mins of senior club rugby.

Sorry ladies, the blonde haired muscular god is taken, he is dating 25 year old Shelley Jenkins, the lucky daughter of a millionaire scaffolder. I f you want a chance to hold Jonny’s hand and see him in the flesh, then sorry you can’t, but a just as hot waxwork version of the rugby legend stands at Madame Tussard’s, where you can get up close and personal or even have your photo took with him.

It is also good to know that off the pitch Wilkinson is a down to Earth bloke and not a trouble maker. Check out the gallery for jaw dropping, pictures of him you might simply drool over.
