Timeline
Lewis Walton Moody MBE (born 12 June 1978 in Ascot) is an English retired rugby union player.
Moody scored two tries for England Colts against Wales in April 1997, and was a member of the side that won the Madrid Sevens at the end of that season.
He was later called up to the senior team for the 1998–99 "tour from hell" but did not make an appearance.
Moody was an unused replacement for the 2001 Heineken Cup Final but started the victorious 2002 Heineken Cup Final, and was a member of the Tigers side in the four Premiership winning seasons in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
The arrival of New Zealand international openside Josh Kronfeld at Leicester in 2001, threatened to relegate Moody to third choice openside.
However, Kronfeld failed to settle at the club and despite offers from Harlequins and Bath, Moody decided to stay.
Moody made his England debut against Canada on 2 June 2001, when the established internationals Neil Back and Richard Hill were touring Australia with the British and Irish Lions.
He won a further two caps on the North American tour and scored a try against the US Eagles in San Francisco.
He was then called up to the senior squad for the match against Ireland in Dublin in October 2001 and came on to win cap number four.
Continued impressive form saw him challenge his teammate, Neil Back, for the coveted England No.7 shirt, starting in two Six Nations games the following season.
Moody displaced Lawrence Dallaglio from the first choice England XV for the 2002/3 autumn internationals scoring a try in the game against New Zealand, but was injured against South Africa and Dallaglio regained his place.
He returned to fitness and again featured in Clive Woodward's plans, but a further injury in the first Six Nations match against France threatened to curtail the rest of his season.
He was not considered for the summer tour due to that injury, but recovered well enough to play in the pre-world cup friendlies against France and Wales in the summer, scoring a try in the game at the Millennium Stadium.
He played a part in all seven World Cup matches and came on as a replacement in the final to replace Hill.
He won the final line-out in the phase of play which led to Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop goal.
He played for Leicester Tigers and Bath Rugby and was part of the 2003 World Cup winning side.
Moody is known for the enthusiasm with which he played the game, his willingness to chase down opponents and his ability to compete for possession at restarts, which earned him the nickname "Mad Dog" from teammates and supporters.
When Moody was five, he took up mini rugby at Bracknell, when a school friend suggested he join him.
He played at Bracknell until the age of 12.
He was educated at Eagle House Prep School, then Oakham School in Rutland, where he initially played rugby union at centre before moving to full back.
He later studied Business Administration at De Montfort University while playing for Leicester Tigers.
Moody's meeting Ed Houston signalled the beginning of his rugby career.
In the Leicester Tigers youth team, he played flanker.
He became the youngest Leicester Tigers' player to play a league game at 18 years and 94 days, a record now surpassed by Ben Youngs.
He soon became established as Neil Back's understudy for the openside flanker shirt.
Making the Tigers starting XV was difficult however, as internationals Neil Back and Martin Corry took two of the three starting positions, with Paul Gustard and Will Johnson (younger brother of Martin) fighting for the remaining place.
After the World Cup success in 2003, he suffered a stress fracture of his foot which took a long time to heal and kept him out of the remaining 2003–04 season.
He missed the remaining 2003–4 season due to a foot injury.
With the retirement of Dallaglio and Back, and Hill out injured, he started all three of England's autumn internationals.
Moody made a return in October 2004, in the Heineken European Cup match against Calvisano.
Moody remained an England mainstay into 2005.
That year he became the first English player to be sent off at Twickenham, when he was dismissed for fighting during the autumn international with Leicester teammate Alex Tuilagi.
Moody won his fifth Premiership medal in 2007, starting the final and scoring a try as Leicester defeated Gloucester.
Having missed the 2007 Six Nations Championship through injury, Moody was selected as part of the England squad for the 2007 World Cup in France.
He was injured for much of the 2008–2009 season, which was his Testimonial season for the club, but returned to play in the 73–3 win over Bristol, and featured in both the Heineken Cup final and the Guinness Premiership win.
Moody stayed fit for the entire 2009–2010 season, and even captained the side in the home fixture against Sale.
The Tigers won the 2009–10 Guinness Premiership, beating Saracens 33–27 at Twickenham.
In the 2010–2011 season, he joined Bath Rugby on a three-year deal along with Sam Vesty.
Moody picked up a knee ligament injury in Bath's 55–16 win over Aironi in January 2011 but had been confident of making the England team for their opening Six Nations clash with Wales on 4 February.
Moody announced his retirement from rugby on 6 March 2012 with immediate effect due to injuries.
