Neil Back is a former England Rugby flanker, widely regarded for his speed, precision at the breakdown, and fierce competitiveness. He earned 66 caps for England between 1994 and 2003, playing in three Rugby World Cups and playing a crucial role in England's 2003 World Cup victory. His partnership with Richard Hill and Lawrence Dallaglio formed one of the most effective back row combinations in international rugby.

At club level, Back was a central figure in Leicester Tigers' dominance throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. He made over 300 appearances for the club, helping them to five Premiership titles, two Heineken Cups, and multiple domestic honours. His leadership and consistency made him one of the most respected players in English club rugby.

Back also toured with the British & Irish Lions on three occasions-1997, 2001, and 2005-earning five test caps. He was instrumental in the Lions' 1997 series win in South Africa, and in 2005 became the oldest player to start a Lions Test, aged 36, a testament to his enduring quality and professionalism.

After retiring in 2005, Back moved into coaching with roles at Leicester, Leeds Carnegie, and Rugby Lions, and later transitioned into business, media, and motivational speaking.
