The late Gloucester owner Tom Walkinshaw is to be inducted into Rugby's Hall of Fame later this month ...

He will be inducted alongside Martin Johnson, Rob Baxter, Ed Morrison, Lewis Moody and George Chuter at a dinner in London on January 22 where he will be represented by his son Ryan, the present Chairman.

Tom, of course, passed away in December 2010 at the age of 64.

"The six men represent a who's who of professional club rugby in England and we are delighted to welcome them into our Hall of Fame," said Phil Winstanley the Rugby Director at Premiership Rugby.

"In the list we have two Rugby World Cup winners, one of Aviva Premiership Rugby's leading coaches, a man who refereed a Rugby World Cup Final, a player who played more than 200 Premiership matches and a club owner who left an indelible mark on the game here in England. A formidable line-up."
