Former All Blacks captain Buck Shelford receives knighthood

The former All Blacks captain Wayne “Buck” Shelford was knighted Monday in the New Zealand civil honors list commemorating the Queen’s Birthday public holiday. Shelford, who has recovered from lymphoma, was honored not only for his services to rugby but for his work as a men’s health advocate, in youth suicide prevention and as a champion of the Maori language. Now 63, Shelford had an unbeaten record as All Blacks captain between 1987 and 1990.
