Jonny Wilkinson, that drop goal to win the World Cup in the final play of the match. Pressure.
Also Jessica Ennis, becoming the face of the Olympics, putting real pressure on herself, and still performing at her peak.
both fairly humble as well, bit like myself.

Ok I'll trump your Meads with Jason `The barking Boy' Leonard....
Against Wales in 1992, Leonard suffered a neck injury: he experienced a numbing sensation in his right arm, but had no idea he had ruptured a vertibrae in his neck, so played out the remainder of the match. Later, he required emergency surgery, where bone from his hip had to be grafted into his neck.
100 caps for a prop who once decided to have surgery on his neck because nerve damage meant he couldn't feel a thing when he bit a hole so big in his thumb that blood was pumping out. 'Even the pins and needles down my arm had gone. I knew it was time for the knife.' They went in through his throat. 'I was young. I healed quickly.'
