Rob Henderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert ("Rob") Alexander James Henderson (born 27 October 1972 in Dover) is a rugby union footballer who plays at centre for Esher RFC. He has represented Ireland and toured with the 2001 British and Irish Lions.

Educated at the Tiffin School, Kingston, Henderson's natural athletic ability and aggression were effectively harnessed by larger-than-life rugby coach Dave Morris.

Henderson played for London Irish, London Wasps,Leinster and joined Munster in late 2001.

Henderson's career highlights at Munster include his tackle on Austin Healey in April 2003, which contributed to the try which was scored a mere two minutes later. An injured Austin was unable to defend his line after been "Hendoed" and Ronan O'Gara got over the line.

Henderson joined the French side RC Toulonnais of Pro D2 for the 2006/07 season before returning to the UK to sign for Esher RFC
