Tosh Askew

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tony Askew, known by most as Tosh, was coach of the England under 19's rugby union team. He lives in Stoke-on-Trent.

He has taken the English under 19's to a grand slam victory in 2005 and the semi-final place in the world cup.^[specify]

He was previously a rugby coach and part time English teacher at a Newcastle-under-Lyme School. During the 80's Tosh was at St Mary's College Crosby, Merseyide where he was Games Master. During this period he played his rugby for St Helens RFC at full back.

Tosh Ashkew is once again with Newcastle-under-Lyme School working as a part time coach. He also coaches local youngsters in and around Stoke-On-Trent such as with Eccleshall R.F.C.^[specify]

He sites his greatest regret in rugby as not being able to coax Daniel Booth away from the Hockey team to be his star player. He would plead with Daniel saying: "Come on Booothee". But Boothy did not come. (N.B. Vandalism of the information on this page is considered as censorship and as such is taken very seriously)
