Ex-England captain Dallaglio to sell World Cup winner's medal

Former England rugby skipper Lawrence Dallaglio is parting with his prized 2003 Rugby World Cup winner's medal following financial ruin stemming from a divorce. The fifty-four-year-old athlete has consigned numerous memorabilia pieces from his athletic career to an auction block in Northamptonshire, which is scheduled for thirteenth of October.

Alongside the prominent World Cup accolade, the private collection features a British and Irish Lions cap, a 1993 World Cup Sevens medal, and a 2003 Six Nations Championship medal. Organizers anticipate the premier World Cup item alone will command between fifty thousand and eighty thousand pounds, while the entire portfolio carries an expected total worth of one hundred eighty thousand pounds.

During a recent podcast interview, Dallaglio attributed his insolvency to marital dissolution and admitted to experiencing struggles with self-pity that required therapeutic support.
