ENGLAND rugby legend Lewis Moody has revealed he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
The 47-year-old was part of the 2003 Rugby World Cup-winning side and captained the nation during a stellar career.
Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with MND
Moody discovered he had MND after noticing some weakness in his shoulder while training in the gym, reports the BBC.
After physiotherapy failed to improve the problem, a series of scans showed nerves in his brain and spinal cord had been damaged by MND.
He told the outlet: “You’re given this diagnosis of MND and we’re rightly quite emotional about it, but it’s so strange because I feel like nothing’s wrong.
“I don’t feel ill. I don’t feel unwell
“My symptoms are very minor. I have a bit of muscle wasting in the hand and the shoulder.
“I’m still capable of doing anything and everything. And hopefully that will continue for as long as is possible.”
