Rugby icon, 47, heartbreakingly says he ‘can’t remember a single second’ of career
Former France rugby star Sebastien Chabal has admitted that he doesn’t remember “a single second of a rugby match” he played in during an illustrious career. Chabal, now 47, made 62 appearances for his country, including at the 2007 World Cup.
Chabal last played for Lyon before retiring from the sport in 2014, having been one of the most popular players in France during his 11 years with the national team. So much so that ‘Chabalmania’ became a hot topic across the country. He also spent five years in England, in addition to spells with Racing Metro and Bourgoin, playing over 100 times for Sale Sharks and winning the 2005/06 Premiership.
