Lewis Moody has seen & done it all in a glittering career that has seen him win the 2003 World Cup under Martin Johnson's captaincy lose in the final of the 2007 World Cup after the most shambolic passage & now lead England under Johnson's management in the 2011 World Cup. Moody has not only been an ever-present in the England team for the past decade
- a team that has featured some of the most iconic & interesting figures in British sport such as Jonny Wilkinson Lawrence Dallaglio & Jason Robinson
- but also until his shock move to Bath last summer he was a key part of the all-conquering Leicester Tigers team that became champions of England six times & of Europe twice. Moody does not just explore the incredible highs of which there are many but also the equally incredible lows. There was the bullying at school the time as a child when he was so near to death that the doctors advised his parents to prepare for the worst & later the many occasions when he wanted to walk away from a sport that has produced so much success when the injuries were mounting up & becoming so serious that Moody felt he had had enough. The end result is at times a painfully funny & at other times painfully sad story of sporting triumph achieved only after leaping major obstacles along the way.
