Mad Dog. World Cup winner, fearless flanker and England captain
RugbyThey called him Mad Dog for a reason. Lewis Moody played rugby the way most people would run into a burning building, and did it for 15 years at the very top of the game.
Moody was an openside flanker in the classic English tradition, all hair, elbows, and relentless work rate, the kind of player Clive Woodward wanted on the pitch in the last five minutes of a tight Test. He won 71 England caps, captained his country 11 times, and was on the field when Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal won the World Cup in Sydney in 2003. At club level he was a Leicester Tigers legend, winning Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups in a pack of forwards that ran English club rugby for a decade.
Behind the nickname there was a thoughtful, humble man. Moody has been open about his career long battle with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune condition he has lived with since he was a teenager, and his work raising awareness and funds for the charity that carries his name has been as important as anything he did on the pitch. The Lewis Moody Foundation supports research into brain tumours.
Since retiring, Moody has moved into broadcasting and charity leadership, appearing on Sky and TNT coverage and speaking at events across the country. The World Cup stories, the Leicester Tigers dressing room, and the character behind Mad Dog make every appearance memorable.
