The All Black captain, Jock Hobbs (left), and the joint manager of the University of Canterbury senior rugby team, John Nevin, with an autographed rugby ball which will today begin a long journey for charity. It will be raffled by the Gosport rugby club to raise money for the English leukaemia appeal — a scheme mooted by the former University senior captain, lan Stewart, who is now involved with medical research in Winchester. Mr Nevin organised the project at the Christchurch end, the Adidas company supplied the ball, and Hobbs obtained the autographs of all the Canterbury All Blacks. The ball will leave Christchurch Airport today in the possession of Mr John Harris, who is Dr Stewart’s father-in-law.
