Timeline
Andrew Maxwell Haden (26 September 195029 July 2020) was a New Zealand rugby union player and All Black captain.
Haden was born in Wanganui on 26 September 1950.
He attended Wanganui Boys' College.
He played at lock for Auckland and New Zealand from 1972 until 1985.
He also played club rugby in the United Kingdom and Italy.
He made his All Black debut in 1972, and his Test debut against the British Lions in 1977, going on to make 41 Test appearances and scoring two tries.
Of those 41 appearances, 8 were as captain of the All Blacks.
Haden was noted for his powerful scrummage skills and for his imposing presence at the lineout.
He played club rugby for Auckland, Harlequins in London and Algida Rome in Italy.
The most infamous occurrence of this happened in a match against at Cardiff Arms Park in 1978.
The score was 12–10 in Wales's favour, when Haden and another New Zealand player, Frank Oliver, fell to the ground as if pushed during a lineout after the ball had been thrown in.
The referee awarded a penalty in the dying moments of the match, which Brian McKechnie kicked, winning the game for New Zealand.
Later, Welsh legend J. P. R. Williams wrote that Haden should have been sent off.
Despite the controversy however, the referee subsequently stated that the penalty had actually been awarded for an actual infringement against Oliver and not the Haden 'dive' as was thought.
Haden did not, however, deny that the attempts to cheat the referee were pre-planned, something also confirmed by his captain Graham Mourie.
The match happened on the same day as the annual 'Miss World' competition, which prompted Welsh cartoonist Gren to create a picture of the 'Miss World' event, but with Miss New Zealand lying on the floor, pretending to have been pushed.
Off the field, he published his autobiography, Boots ’n All, in 1983.
By receiving royalties from the book, he ostensibly tested the sport's strict amateurism rules in force back then.
He ultimately prevailed, however, by claiming that being a writer was his profession.
Haden was selected as one of the “Five players of the year” for the 1984 and 1985 seasons, in the Rugby Almanack of New Zealand.
Haden was a controversial player, who was accused of cheating and unsporting conduct.
Haden made his last Test appearance in 1985 against.
Haden was an agent for various celebrities, including Rachel Hunter.
In 2003, Haden announced that he was beginning chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
He was given the honorary position of Rugby World Cup Ambassador in 2010, but resigned the post after making controversial statements about a racial quota he alleged the Crusaders to be operating, calling Polynesians "darkies", and then suggesting women raped by sports stars may be partly to blame.
He overcame this bout of illness, but in February 2020 was diagnosed with lymphoma.
He consequently died of lymphoma on 29 July 2020, at his home in Auckland.
