its all right saying on here what a good bloke mike teague is but the price of a good ale in his bar opposite the ground is a bloody rip off! Not that i'd ever tell him to his face :-)
Poor old Teaguey, gave everything for England and the Lions just before the real money came into the game. He was as strong as an ox. I remember opposition backs rows trying to stop his marauding runs. Good times.
I think you will find that Mike did quite well when he left for Mosely. He was, by his own admission, the highest paid palyer in the UK...even though it was "amateur." There was alot of under the table stuff. Teagey deserved every penny.
top player Teague. that early nineties english pack were awesome.probyn, dooley, acford, moore, teague, winterbottom etc....

@ruscoast90 Teague is on record as thinking very highly of Carling as a captain and a player.

Both great players. The Aussies didn't like playing against Mike Teague though did they? He gave them an utter learning in '89.

Yep - bloody hard man,same as Dean Richards,Jeff Probyn etc.
Nice guy too - very down to earth,not a big head international type. Well respected.
Just hope the Lions next year do us half as proud as Mike Teague and co have done b4.
