Interesting Facts:
* He only commits himself to 20 days of commercial work a year so it doesn't interfere with his rugby.

* Wilkinson is close friends with Richard Hill and whenever the team are given time off the pair often go out together.

* His grandfather, Phil, played football for Norwich

* Down Under on the Lions tour in 2001, Wilkinson went into a shark tank with Richard Hill and Martin Corry.

* Wilkinson once impressed himself (and some Middlesborough footballers who were looking on) when he aimed for and hit the crossbar five times in a row during a kicking drill.
