I lived in Leicester for a short while and played club rugby for Oadby and Wigston (Oadby Wyggestonian RFC). My father taught at Leicester University for a number of years, and all my English sisters were educated at a school in Oadby, famous for having Brian May, later a member of Queen as a pupil.
