BIOGRAPHY

Ben Cohen
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Ben Cohen, born September 14, 1978 in Northampton, is an England rugby union player, playing for Sale Sharks (as of 2009) in the Guinness Premiership competition in England.

Cohen is an England Rugby World Cup Winner. He has achieved 57 caps for his country and is second in the all time try scoring record for England, topped only by Rory Underwood.

After 11 years of playing professional rugby for Northampton Saints, Ben spent 18 months playing for CA Brive in France where he made a big difference bringing speed, power and experience to a fast developing side. This year Ben has returned to the UK to play with premiership side Sale Sharks and he is looking forward to getting stuck back into English rugby over the next few seasons.

Off field he is considered a gay-friendly icon. He has often spoken favourably of his gay following and ousted David Beckham as Gay Times' sports personality of the year in 2008, and came second as their sexiest man of the year. He has put his photogenic appeal to use by releasing a calendar.

For fun, Cohen enjoys motorcycling and clay pigeon shooting, and he spends most of his time with his family looking after the twins. His farm in Northamptonshire keeps him busy with a variety of animals from horses to sheep and chickens.
