Martin Johnson hs been voted the best player to have graced Twickenham during the stadium's 100-year history.

The England team manager and 2003 World Cup-winning captain received the O2 Player of the Century Award at the Rugby Football Union's gala centenary dinner.

Rugby fans were invited to choose from the 100 former players who have been inducted into Twickenham's Hall of Fame.

Johnson topped the poll ahead of legendary Welsh scrum-half Gareth Edwards and was joined in the top 10 by four of his 2003 World Cup team-mates - Jason Robinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Richard Hill and Neil Back.

David Duckham and Rory Underwood were also shortlisted along with New Zealand winger Jonah Lomu and French full-back Serge Blanco.

The award forms part of Twickenham's centenary celebrations.
