  • Requested by Tom Farrow, Steve Davies and Tom Martin. A wonderful player who's career has sadly been cut down with injuries, leading to his retirement at 32. If it wasn't for his injuries, Simpson-Daniel would have gone on to become one of England's best. Apologies for the bad quality at points, footage was hard to come by.

    I know he had a lot of injuries, but still criminally overlooked by England. World class when fit.

    the most wasted talent for England in the history of the sport. as a young child growing up watching him play every game until his last, i cant say there has been a more proficient player till this day. Every Gloucester fan loves you Sinbad, you are a living legend of this beautiful sport

    Legend. should have had a long and illustrious England career. the selectors should hang their heads in shame.

      giteausuperstar Nothing to do with selectors. His injury and illness problems are well documented.

    Been a season ticket holder at Gloucester for 22 years - of all the great players we have had this guy is at the top - an honour to of watched him.

    Fantastic video. Having played against James at school I can vouch for his natural ability and lightning fast mind, feet and hands. This video really shows off all that talent! 👏👌

    Like Gatland said, if Sinbad was Welsh he would of had over 100 caps to his name

    Fantastic player, will be missed in the Premiership. Also, as others have said, such a shame he never got more England time, his balance is on another level as was his timing when to go.

    England's answer to Cullen. A truly languid and mesmeric runner.

    He should have played for england 100%, one of the greatest to ever grace the game. love you sinbad

    An absolute genius sadly when fit, overlooked by England for much lesser talents.

      he was injured or got injured every time he was picked TBH. Very unlucky

    Sinbad and Hans Zimmer. Pure class.

    I love watching clips of old school rugby where they wear actual rugby shirts and not colour coded condoms.

  • @tomblakemoremusic
    @tomblakemoremusic ปีที่แล้ว

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. If he wasn't English he'd be considered one of the greatest ever. So lucky to see him playing whilst growing up as a Glos fan

  • @1964dangerous

    I've no links at all to Gloucester Rugby, but Sinbad was one of the greatest English wingers to have ever played the game. He ran like he was a stream of water. moving through chaotic rapids. He was was grace and eluviness personified. Physically smal, but a true giant to the fans who appreciated him. As stated by oters, he should have had scores more caps for his country and for the Lions. Great tribute.........

    Such a pity he was injured so much. He deserved much more time in the white in a England jersey.

      thanks man, looking forward to that! Glad you're uploading again. Dude I'm in exactly the same position as you, it's a nightmare to get all the work done and have time to see friends and do these videos as well.

    Can you make a Semesa Rokoduguni tribute? Fijian born winger but can play for England, really inform so far in this season, likely gonna see him in England's back three for the World Cup

  • @wobblertv8083

  • @supermegablurgh
    @supermegablurgh 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    hes a bit like shane williams... just slightly slower... and not as good.... and not welsh...

    • @darthmong7196
      @darthmong7196 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Difficult to say. Shane always looked so quick because of his stumpy little legs. Sinbad was much taller. I'm sure if Brett Sinkinson and Shane Howarth can be Welsh, Sinbad could have a granny too.

    • @robyoung9642
      @robyoung9642 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Taller than Williams, faster than Williams better than williams and English
