New sponsorship deal for our Johnny.

England rugby World Cup hero Johnny Wilkinson has today signed a new record breaking two year contract with the BUPA North East Sports Hospital in Newcastle.

The deal which is estimated to be worth £350,00 a year will see the drop-kick king spend a further two years at the exclusive private sports clinic.

Said BUPA North East Sports Hospital Chief Executive Rob Andrew:

“I am delighted to be able to sign up Johnny for a further two years. He’s quite clearly the best patient in English Rugby. He rarely troubles himself with playing sport, and when does occasionally leave the hospital he soon returns. I guess he must like the place.”

Publicity-shy Johnny, best known for appearing in TV adverts for The Times, Boots and Lucozade, said:

“I have spent the best part of my career on the treatment table here at the BUPA North East Sports hospital. I’m delighted to sign up for a further two years.”

Johnny recently made his BUPA North East Sports Hospital comeback after a brief period on the sidelines playing rugby with Newcastle Falcons. He is now safely tucked up in bed monitoring his own progress in the broadsheet newspapers.

“We have told him before that he should never play rugby,” Rob Andrew said.

“It only leads to heartache. If he stayed in hospital like he supposed to, the papers could get on with their job of printing nonsense stories about his never-ending recovery from injury.”
