It was only three years later when Martin made his England debut against France, playing superbly despite being called up without preparation with his other team mates. Johnson went on to become an integral part of the team that won the 1995 Grand Slam. Martin took over the captaincy of his beloved Leicester Tigers in 1997 after the retirement of Dean Richards, with the winning reaching the Pilkington Cup and reaching the final of the Heineken Cup. Martin knows exactly how to maximise success and take opportunities in competitive environments, two skills closely related to corporate environment therefore making Martin a fantastic Rugby speaker.
Johnson’s defining moment of his international career came at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, including the unforgettable 20-17 victory over Australia in the final. The national side beat the very best sides in the world including, South Africa, France and Wales to eventually take their place as one of the best teams to ever play. Johnson’s performances over this time were described as ‘among the best ever by a lock forward’. As an after dinner speaker, Johnson relays anecdotal tales of his time as an elite sportsman, along with just how sweet that victory against Australia really tasted.
