John Buckton

John Richard Buckton (born 22 December 1961) is a former English rugby player who played as a centre for Saracens between 1984 and 1996, captaining them in the 1991–1992 season. He won three England caps between 1988 and 1990.[1][2] He won his first England cap coming on in the final minutes of England v. Australia in 1988 at Twickenham, replacing an injured Will Carling, who was England's captain. The twenty-two year old Carling cemented his position in the England team, holding the captaincy of the squad in the 1991 and 1995 Rugby World Cups; forming a strong center partnership with Simon Halliday and, later, Jeremey Guscott; limiting Buckton to only three England caps.
