Jonny Wilkinson for Toulon in the 2014 Top 14 Final against Castres, his last game before retirement.
Jonny Wilkinson ended his career by helping Toulon to the French title with victory over Castres in Paris.
The former England fly-half, 35, kicked all but three of his side’s points in an 18-10 victory in the Top 14 final.
His display included four penalty kicks and a drop goal reminiscent of his winning kick against Australia to win England the World Cup in 2003.

“I’ve been here five years and it is impossible to put this feeling into words,” said Wilkinson.
Wilkinson also led Toulon to the Heineken Cup last weekend with a 23-6 final win over Saracens in Cardiff.
He won 91 caps for England during his 17-year career and will now join the coaching staff at Toulon, the club he moved to in 2009.
His team-mates at Toulon mobbed Wilkinson at the final whistle to mark the end of his playing career.
And lets not forget Danie Rossouw. Both legends of the game. Well done to both of them.
Maybe Rugby-talk can add a tribute article for one of our local heroes, Danie Rossouw, just like the english media is doing with Johnny.
