Henry Pollock honored with knitted tributes before Prem final
Summary

Henry Pollock, a standout player for Northampton Saints, has been memorialized in three knitted versions by the Northamptonshire Women's Institute. The tribute comes ahead of the Premiership final against Exeter at Twickenham on Saturday. Pollock, known for his distinctive blond hair and headband, became England's youngest try scorer in Six Nations history last year. The knitted creations were initiated about a month ago, aiming to highlight Pollock's unique hairstyle and contributions to the team. Two of the smaller versions have been delivered to Franklin's Gardens, with one intended for Pollock himself.
