Written by on 08/04/2017

Former England rugby international Brian Moore is recovering in intensive care after suffering a heart attack.

Moore, 55, revealed on Twitter he was being treated at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south London.

He said: "As this is starting to get out – I’m out of ICU of St George’s having suffered heart attack.

"Thanks to the professionals who saved my life."

Moore won 64 England caps between 1987 and 1995 and also played five times for the British and Irish Lions.

The hooker trained as a solicitor but became a TV pundit after retiring from rugby.
