Rodney Webb

1

Rodney Edward Webb (born 18 August 1943) is a former international rugby union player. He was capped twelve times as a wing for England between 1967 and 1972. In 1983, Webb took over the Gilbert company in Rugby, Warwickshire, which supplied Rugby Balls. He conceived the idea of turning the company's premises into a museum, as at the time there was no museum in Britain dedicated solely to the game of rugby football. It was opened to the public as the Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum four years later in April 1987.
