The former Newcastle, England and British Lions player, famously kicked the last-minute drop goal against Australia that helped England win the Rugby World Cup in 2003.
The 41-year-old has had a mixed car history, but it's definitely improved over the years.
Read on to see the three cars that defined

Car 1: Mini Metro

"I passed my test first time and shared a Mini Metro with my older brother, Mark, who also played rugby for Newcastle. It wasn’t a large car and had already been well-used by him at college. It was pretty tired and probably on its last legs.
"I actually reversed the Metro into a concrete post outside my house. I must have hit it pretty hard because the car didn’t last much longer after that. "

Car 2: Mercedes SLK

"In my pomp I loved owning a Mercedes with a folding roof. The Merc was great fun but in Newcastle there wasn’t an awful lot of sunshine to enjoy it. This was me at my wildest, not that I was ever that crazy."

Car 3: Range Rover Sport Hybrid

"I recently took delivery of a new Range Rover Sport Hybrid. Becoming a Dad last year, it was time to get something practical for the family. It's. amazing how you can look back and see where you were in your life based on your car."
