Lewis Moody, the former England rugby captain and 2003 World Cup winner, has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as motor neurone disease.
The 47-year-old Moody went public with his diagnosis on Monday, saying he has “a bit of muscle wasting in the hand and the shoulder” while describing them as “minor symptoms” at the moment.
