“Congratulations on a wonderful idea. I saw him play in the 1930s when he was a member of Leicester Tigers.”

 “My late father was present at ‘Obolensky’s match’ against the All Blacks and I still treasure the match programme he lovingly preserved. Thirty years later he could still recall in photographic detail and with boyish enthusiasm the second, more famous of his two tries.”
DH, Kent

“I am only too pleased to enclose a donation to support the Prince Obolensky memorial … it is a very fitting tribute to one of the rugby greats. Thank you for the thoughts behind this project and I hope you have all the support you need.”
DK, Essex

“My late husband played rugby in the team which this country sent to the Argentine in the 1930s and Prince Obolensky and my husband (later to become captain of Scotland) became good friends … We often talked of the prince and we were saddened that he died so young.”
DS, Hampshire

“Congratulations to all concerned in the Prince Obolensky Memorial Project. As someone who attended the same Oxford college as Obolensky, I am delighted to make a small contribution and to wish you every success.”

“Herewith my humble donation – I wish it could have been more. I was privileged to be at Twickenham as a schoolboy, taken by my father, when we excitedly watched the most famous try ever.”
GA, Devon

“As I write I am looking at a photograph of the Midland Counties XV v New Zealand in 1935 in which my father plated centre to ‘Obo’. I hope ‘Obo’ will be in the next batch of legends in the walk at twickenham.”
JW, Lincoln

“To my late husband, although we lived in Cardiff, home of Welsh rugby, there was never a player like Prince Obolensky. If my husband was alive today he would probably be out selling our furniture to raise money for this memorial!”
