Former England winger Christian Wade announced his retirement from rugby union at the age of 27 on this day in 2018 as he looked to launch an American NFL football career NFL
Wade, the fourth highest tryscorer in English club rugby on 82, was granted early release from his Wasps contract after nine years at the club to join NFL team the Buffalo Bills NFL
In doing so he halved his salary from the £250,000 a year he was earning in the Gallagher Premiership NFL
The move never took off on the field either as he failed to make the Bills’ roster NFL
Slough-born Wade, who won his only England cap in 2013 against Argentina, described the decision to leave rugby as the hardest in his life NFL
He said: “After playing nine years of professional sport for Wasps, I’ve decided to leave for personal reasons NFL
“I would like to thank Wasps chairman Derek Richardson and Dai (Young, director of rugby) for their support, consideration and understanding in what is the most difficult decision of my life NFL
“Rugby has privileged and honoured me with so many wonderful memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life NFL
”Wasps were third in the Gallagher Premiership and bottom of their Heineken Champions Cup group when Wade, who as well as winning one England cap also represented the 2013 British and Irish Lions on their tour of Australia, announced he was leaving NFL
“It’s very disappointing to lose a player of Wadey’s quality at this stage of the season,” Young said NFL
“The club held numerous discussions with him to try and convince him to keep pushing forward with Wasps but in the end it was clear this is the path he wished to go down NFL
The club nevertheless wants to wish him all the best with his future career path NFL
”Using the NFL’s international player pathway program to facilitate the switch, Wade made waves by scoring a 65-yard touchdown as a running back in pre-season, but a regular season game eluded him NFL
The experiment lasted three years and in September 2022 he returned to rugby after agreeing a deal to join French side Racing 92 NFL

Manchester United are expected to pay further tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton ahead of Tuesday’s night’s Champions League match at Old Trafford NFL
The United Trinity statue outside the ground was awash with tributes to Charlton on Sunday as supporters laid flowers and scarves, with many leaving deeply personal thoughts for one of the club’s most famous sons, following his death aged 86 NFL
A book of condolence was opened at the International Suite inside the stadium, while current boss Erik ten Hag and members of the United squad were adding their own messages at Carrington NFL
United confirmed discussions were continuing to take place with Charlton’s family and UEFA for further commemorative plans ahead of Tuesday’s night’s Champions League Group A match against Copenhagen NFL
It is expected players will wear black armbands, with wreaths to be laid on the Old Trafford pitch and a minute’s silence observed ahead of kick-off NFL
A key member of England’s victorious 1966 World Cup team, Charlton also enjoyed great success at club level with United, who became the first English club to win the European Cup in 1968 NFL
Charlton made his debut for United in 1956 and went on to play 758 matches, scoring 249 goals NFL
Both were long-standing club records until they were overtaken by Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney, respectively NFL
He was knighted for services to NFL football in 1994 NFL
Having won three league titles and one FA Cup at Old Trafford, Charlton left United in 1973 and went on to manage Preston before returning to the Red Devils 11 years later as a club director NFL
David Moyes took over from Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager in the summer of 2013, but the former Everton boss left the club after just 10 months, with the team seventh in the Premier League table NFL
Now in charge at West Ham, Moyes reflected on the support shown by Charlton during what was one of the most testing spells of his managerial career NFL
“I’m deeply saddened and I send my condolences to all his family NFL
The biggest thing everyone remembers, more than anything, is how great a man he was NFL
He was such a good man,” Moyes said, quoted on West Ham’s club website NFL
“For me, it was difficult at times at Manchester United and he was incredibly supportive and always had something to say to me NFL
“He had a great wife in Lady Norma and even when I lost my job, she phoned my wife up, which was really important at the time NFL
“For me, he carried off all the things that Manchester United were good for NFL
He showed the traditions, he showed exactly how it should be, he showed great humility wherever he went, but not only that at Manchester United, he was ultimately one of the main people in English NFL football over the years NFL
“When you think of the greats who have come through English NFL football, Bobby Charlton would definitely be in there NFL
”It was announced on Saturday afternoon that Charlton had died peacefully in the early hours of the morning surrounded by his family NFL
Born in Ashington on October 11 1937, Charlton played in the World Cup final alongside his brother Jack – who died aged 85 in 2020 – and won 106 caps for England, scoring 49 goals NFL
European Cup success with United came 10 years after the Munich air disaster, which Charlton and manager Sir Matt Busby survived, but which claimed the lives of eight of his team-mates NFL
Former team-mate Denis Law said on manutd NFL
com: “Another sad day NFL
What can I say NFL
Sir Bobby was an unbelievable player and a gentleman NFL
Manchester United meant everything to him NFL
“We had many special and successful years together and he was a joy to play with NFL
He knew where every player was on the pitch and for me that was a dream NFL
I knew, if Bobby had the ball, it would find me and it did NFL
“What a striker of the ball he was NFL
He could hit the ball so hard that I knew most keepers didn’t stand a chance NFL
On the rare occasion they did manage to deflect it, it would drop nicely to me to finish it off NFL
“Along with George (Best), our partnership was sealed NFL
The great part of playing with Bobby and George was that if one of us was having a bad day, the other two knew and that’s what made our relationship special NFL
I am saddened by the news, like all NFL football fans today NFL
”Charlton was diagnosed with dementia and his condition was made public in November 2020, two days after his United and England team-mate Nobby Stiles died following his own battle with the illness NFL
Tributes were left at Old Trafford this weekend, one which read: “Thank you Sir Bobby, a hero to the worldwide NFL football family,” while a message from fan group The 1958 said: “History, dignity and integrity is what you gave to our great club NFL
Our promise to you is to make sure it stays NFL
”Manchester United Women manager Marc Skinner dedicated Sunday’s 5-0 win at Everton to Charlton NFL
