Summary at a Glance

Henson regularly found himself in the headlines as arguably rugby’s highest-profile player, but now his closest similarity to Beckham is playing for his pub’s Sunday League team - although he still shaves his legs before games.

GAVIN HENSON was once the David Beckham of rugby union and dated a global pop star - now he's pulling pints in his local.

Henson, who was in a relationship with singing sensation Charlotte Church and had two children with the star, is now in charge of The Fox in the Vale of Glamorgan alongside his wife Katie.

Henson continued: “Where my weakness was — and I probably needed help on this — you look at [Cristiano] Ronaldo or [Lionel] Messi, [think] ‘How do they keep on doing it?’ I think they just set new goals.

The former professional rugby union player swapped the sporting spotlight for running a community pub in Wales.
