- Benedict James Kay MBE (born 14 December 1975) is an English international rugby union footballer who plays lock forward for Leicester Tigers and England. Kay was born in Liverpool, the son of High Court Judge Sir John William Kay (1943 — 2004), which later earned him the nickname "M'lud". Kay first started playing rugby for Waterloo minis going on to play for the Waterloo first team. Kay played for his school and has also played for Queensland University. He represented England in the 1996 Students World Cup in South Africa and at U18, U19 and U21 level. He attended Loughborough University, where he obtained a degree in Sports Science. Kay joined Leicester Tigers from Waterloo in 1999 and first played during the World Cup, with Tiger's normal locks Martin Johnson and Fritz van Heerden away with England and South Africa respectively. With the help of Johnson and van Heerden, he developed his game becoming a highly-rated middle line-out jumper, like van Heerden. He was a member of Tigers’ Heineken Cup winning sides in 2001 and 2002 as his international career blossomed. Having made his England A début against France A in Blagnac in 2000 Kay led England A to a 23-22 win over France A at Redruth in April 2001, and was called up for England’s successful tour of North America and Japan that summer. He made his England début against Canada on 2 June 2001 displacing Danny Grewcock from the England side. After another outstanding season he was named as the Tigers Members' Player of the Year 2001/2, and was a nominee for the Zurich Premiership Player of the Year. He was in the starting line-up for all the Six Nations games in 2002, and scored a try against Ireland. After touring with England to Argentina in the summer of 2002, where he scored his second try, Ben went on to compete in both the Autumn internationals and the Six Nations, before touring to New Zealand and Australia in June 2003. Kay confirmed his status as a core part of the England squad in the World Cup when he played every minute of every England game except the game against Uruguay. During the final against Australia, Kay famously knocked-on (dropped the ball forwards) in a try-scoring position when a try would have almost certainly meant an England win. Fortunately for him England won regardless. Sir Clive Woodward selected him for the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand. Kay came off the bench against Argentina in an official Test prior to the tour. Kay started in the first Test of the series. He played a big part in helping England back to the RWC Final in 2007, in which he started. He was one of only four players to have started both the 2003 and 2007 RWC Finals, the other three being Jonny Wilkinson, Jason Robinson and Phil Vickery. Kay was a used replacement in every game of the 2008 Six Nations.
