Let’s hope he makes a full recovery.

Former British & Irish Lions and English rugby legend, Brian Moore, is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack.

The 55-year-old is often on our TV screens as he provides punditry for the BBC and he also writes a column for The Daily Telegraph.

Moore won 64 caps for England between 1987 – 1995 and he also featured on two Lions tours.

The former Harlequins hooker took to Twitter to confirm the situation.

Moore said: “As this is starting to get out, I’m in ICU of St George’s having suffered heart attack. Thanks to the professionals who saved my life.”

A huge number of people took to Twitter to wish the legend a speedy and successful recovery.
