Timothy Andrew Keith Rodber (born 12 July 1969) is an English former rugby union footballer who played at Number eight, flanker or lock for Northampton Saints, England, and the British and Irish Lions.
[1] Rodber was a captain in the Green Howards infantry regiment of the British Army and remained so even after rugby turned professional.
Whilst at Northampton he started in the victorious 2000 Heineken Cup Final as the Saints defeated Munster.
Good performances including helping England to win the 1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens title.
However in the subsequent tour game against Eastern Province Rodber became one of the few Englishmen in the 1990s to be sent off when he was given a red card for reacting to violence including a stamp on teammate Jon Callard.
[7] However an injury to Scott Quinnell, and then Eric Miller catching flu,[8] led to Rodber starting the First test.
