Sir Wilson Whineray



On Tuesday 23 October 2012, Sir Wilson Whineray died at the age of 77 with his family by his side him.
Sir Wilson Whineray was a prop for the All Blacks and played 77 tests from 1957-1965. He became the captain of the team in 1958.
Sir Wilson was a great man that cared about everybody around him and he was a great businessman. He was also an inspirational leader.
I play rugby for the Grammar Junior Rugby Club. Every year Sir Wilson would come to my rugby clubs Prize giving. He was the patron of our Club. People describe him as a perfect gentlemen which is probably why his biography was titled that.
