Mike Teague Biography

Mike Teague is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on October 8, 1960 in Gloucester, England, United Kingdom. Michael Clive Teague, born 8 October 1960, is an ex-footballer for the British Lions and England rugby union teams.

Teague toured South Africa in 1989 with a World XV. Teague started the second of two IRB-approved tests against South Africa, which was played to celebrate the centenary celebrations of the South African Rugby Board (SARB). The test ended in a 20-19 loss for South Africa tourists at Newlands on 26th August 1989.

Teague was selected for the Lions tour to Australia in 1989. Teague had drifted out of the picture for England until coming back into Lions contention as an ever-present for his country in 1988–89, only for a shoulder injury to rule him out of the first test. Without the injured Mike Teague for the opening test, the Lions suffered a 30-12 defeat in Sydney, their heaviest defeat by Australia. With the England loose-forward restored to the pack for the final two matches as the blindside flanker, they became the only Lions team ever to come from 1-0 down to win a series, winning the second test in Brisbane 19-12 and the third test in Sydney 19-18. Teague was named player of the series for his dynamic and destructive displays in the second and third tests.

Teague married his long term fiancee Lorraine in August 1989 after the British Lions tour to Australia, with his Gloucester back row colleague John Gadd as his best man. Teague also enjoys motorbike scrambling.

Teague and his brother Gary have opened two pubs together, one in Gloucester right next to Kingsholm Stadium, and the other in Cheltenham. Teagues Bar in Gloucester has a section dedicated to Teague’s 1989 Lions tour, when he was named player-of-the series. It also contains programmes, boots, and photos of Gloucester teams from the 1800s. He divides his time now between the development of property and running the pub.
