World Cup winner, England centre, and rugby's unlikeliest member of the royal family
RugbyMike Tindall has led two very different lives and somehow made both look easy. He was a World Cup winning England centre, and he is now a member of the British royal family by marriage, a broadcaster, a podcaster and one of the most loved figures on the after dinner circuit.
On the pitch Tindall was a physical, bruising inside centre who won 75 caps for England between 2000 and 2011. He was in the starting line up for the 2003 World Cup final in Sydney, the night Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal brought the Webb Ellis Cup home, and he captained England in the 2011 tournament. At club level he spent most of his career at Bath and finished at Gloucester, winning the Premiership and Heineken Cup along the way.
His marriage to Zara Phillips in 2011 made him an unexpected member of the royal family, though his personality stayed exactly the same. He embraced it with the warmth and self deprecation that made him a dressing room favourite, and took on a growing roster of charity and broadcasting work.
Today he is one third of The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, one of the most listened to rugby podcasts in the world, alongside Danny Care and James Haskell. He remains a trustee of several charities and an ambassador for mental health organisations close to his heart.
At a Steam lunch, expect the full sweep, England dressing room stories, World Cup final memories, and a royal family perspective delivered with total warmth and zero airs.
