Hare holds the world record for points scored in a first-class rugby career, with 7,337 points.[1]
He was born in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire and attended the Magnus Grammar School (now Magnus Church of England School).
Rugby career
Hare played for Newark RUFC & Nottingham R.F.C. before joining Leicester Tigers and playing nearly 400 games for them.
He made his England debut 16 March 1974 in a match against Wales, and played his final game ten years later on, having gained 25 caps. He toured with the British Lions to New Zealand in 1983.
He retired from club rugby after the 1989 cup final loss to Bath, and is now the chief scout at Northampton Saints. Previous to this job, Hare was a farmer in South Clifton, Nottinghamshire and had been since a young man carrying on the family business. However, Hare sold the farm in 2001 to take a full-time job at Leicester Tigers working for the academy and latterly as head scout.
In January 2010 it was announced that he was to join Northampton Saints. He returned to Tigers in 2017[2]
Cricket career
Hare was also a good cricketer, and he played ten first-class and seven List A matches for Nottinghamshire between 1971 and 1977. He played regularly for the Nottinghamshire Second XI and Under-25s between 1969 and 1978.
