David Campese

Campo — 64 Test tries, the most flamboyant Australian and the inventor of the goosestep.

David Ian Campese was born in Queanbeyan, New South Wales in 1962. He scored 64 Test tries — the world record at his retirement in 1996. His goosestep — a deceleration that seemed to pause mid-stride before acceleration — was the most imitated individual skill in rugby union. He won the Rugby World Cup in 1991 with Australia. His infamous attempted run from behind his own try line in the 1989 Lions series — resulting in a decisive knock-on that cost Australia the series — is rugby's most discussed individual error. He became a prominent commentator and critic of Australian rugby administration after retirement.
