Disbelief was a common thread amongst all the players. “Ironically, my name didn’t actually appear in the programme for the Italian game,” said Cook, who has now joined the celebrated list of former England internationals to have played for Nottingham, such as Gary Rees, ho**er Brian Moore, fly-half Rob Andrew, wing Chris Oti and full-back Simon Hodgkinson.
“I had a call from the Director of Rugby at Nottingham, Simon Beatham, and he said, ‘have you changed your phone number, the RFU are trying to get in touch with you’, and I said, ‘why, are they after money?!’
“The following day the call came through, I was on the golf course and they left a message. So I rang back, to check it was an RFU number, and then suddenly it all starts.”
