Fortunately, Mark has all of these characteristics and more, this hard-working determined hooker will be remembered for what he brought to the sport. A 2003 World Cup winner with England, Mark’s name has gone down in folklore alongside the other stars of the team who triumphed down under.
An outstanding career that involved spells at Bath Rugby, where he won The Heineken Cup in 1997, Leeds Tykes, where he won the Powergen Cup, and Bristol where his team finished a hugely impressive 3rd in the Premiership, Mark earned 46 caps for his country with his finest moment undoubtedly coming in that final in Australia.
After losing out to South Africa in the 2007 World Cup Final, Mark retired from international rugby the following year and from the game at the end of the 2009 season. He has since gone on to forge himself a career in the motivational speaking sector, delighting audiences with his anecdotes from his time as a professional as well as passing on his advice and knowledge as to how to succeed in everything you attempt.
A great communicator both on and off the field, this lends itself perfectly to motivational speaking with wit and humour combining with inspiration and guidance to make an incredibly engaging talk.
