Lewis Moody


So sad to hear that a shoulder injury has put paid to Lewis Moody's rugby career. His never-say-die attitude on the field was an inspiration. A few years ago I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the England rugby club where we went dragon-boat racing on the River Thames in London. Lewis was our boat captain - the man who banged the drum telling us when to paddle. He was exceptionally friendly and as much interested in me (a nobody) as I was of him. That's us in the picture. That says a lot about someone in the limelight. Good luck to him in whatever way he fills the void caused by his retirement.
