Mark 'Ronnie' Regan MBE is an England World Cup winning rugby union player.

 

International honors for England and played for the British Lions, his club sides were  Bristol, Bath and Leeds Tykes.

 

Regan's England breakthrough came when he succeeded Brian Moore in 1995 he became the first player to make his England debut in the professional era of rugby union, which began in August of that year. ‘Ronnie’ was in the Five Nations championships 1995, 96 and 97, the same year he was selected by British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa.

He lost form on his return from Lions duty and lost his England place even though he played a major role in Bath's Heineken Cup victory, the hooker was out of favour with England Coach Clive Woodward.

 

In 1999/2000, Regan re-emerged as a player: he shed over a stone in weight and hit back at critics by turning in some impressive performances for Bath. A prominent figure in the clubs late season challenge for the Allied Dunbar Premiership, he was voted the Bath forward of the year.

 

He returned to the England squad on the tour to South Africa in 2000 where he played some of the best rugby of his career and selection for England’s autumn internationals followed.

 

Though he missed out on the Lions tour to Australia during the summer, Regan was selected for England's summer tour and remained part of the England set-up for the 2001-2002 season and again went on tour in Argentina.

Regan joined Leeds Tykes in August 2002 from Bath and quickly became a central figure at Headingly. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2002-2003 season his displays not only saw him become a crowd favourite but also saw a revival in his international career, as he was selected for the England squad for the Australia 2003 Rugby World Cup.

 

Being part of the triumphant – winning England squad – was a career high light.

 

Although he officially retired from international rugby after the World Cup, he came out of retirement in 2007 and was named in the England squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He was also named in the England squad for the 2008 Six Nations Championship.

 

After the World Cup, Regan was selected to captain the Barbarians against South Africa but was refused permission to play from Bristol; however, Regan ignored the club and played the game anyway!

 

After England beat France 24-13 in Paris in the 2008 Six Nations Championship, it was to be Regan's last appearance for England. In February 2009, Regan announced his intention to retire from rugby.
