He was nicknamed 'The Raging Potato' because of his bald head. He was also known as 'Uncle Fester' due to his resemblance to a character in The Addams Family.[1] Wood is considered by many to be the best hooker in rugby union during his era, winning the inaugural World Player of the Year, and among the best hookers in the history of rugby union.[2][3][4] Early lifeWood was born in Killaloe, County Clare, and educated at St Munchin's College, Limerick. His father, Gordon Wood, played prop 29 times for Ireland. CareerHe started his career with Garryowen who he helped to All Ireland titles in 1992 and 1994 before moving to Harlequins. He returned to play with Munster in the 1999–2000 season and played in the European Rugby Cup final that Munster lost to Northampton Saints 9-8 in Twickenham Stadium before returning to Harlequins. Wood made his international debut in 1994 against Australia. He was capped 58 times for Ireland and five times for the Lions. Never the most accurate player in the set piece his real strength was in leadership and open play where he dominated the world XV's hooker spot. He played on the 1997 and 2001 Lions tours, and was the inaugural winner of the IRB International Player of the Year award in 2001. He played a part in the Lions' 2-1 series victory over the Springboks in 1997. Wood captained Ireland. He was followed as Ireland captain by Brian O'Driscoll. Wood retired from playing after the 2003 Rugby World Cup. In 2005 the Munster Rugby player was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, which has since been merged into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Wood's total of 15 full international test tries was, at his international retirement, the record for a hooker, or indeed any player in the tight five. The previous record for international tries by hookers (or players at any position in the tight five) was 12, set by Sean Fitzpatrick of the New Zealand All Blacks. Wood's record has since been equalled for tight-five players by current USA front-rower Joe Taufete'e.[5] Wood still holds the record for hookers, as Taufete'e to date has scored 14 tries as a hooker and one as a prop.[6] He scored 4 tries in one game in the 1999 Rugby World Cup, in the pool stage against the USA. Ireland were later eliminated from the tournament when they lost to Argentina in the quarter-final play-off. Wood made his last appearance on the BBC as a regular pundit having worked for the Beeb for 21 years and The Daily Telegraph as a freelance journalist. In 2014, Wood was inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame shortly before it merged with the International Hall to create the current World Rugby Hall of Fame.[7] Wood used to play hurling, and was a member of the Clare GAA side that played in the inaugural Nenagh Co-op hurling tournament in 1988. Wood recently opened a Café and Restaurant on the main street in his native Killaloe with business partner Malcolm Bell, aptly called Wood & Bell.[8] References1. ^{{citeweb|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/the-claw-ready-to-tackle-uncle-fester-6313099.html|title=The Claw ready to tackle Uncle Fester|date=4 October 2001|work=Evening Standard|accessdate=23 September 2015}} 2. ^https://www.ruck.co.uk/ranking-10-best-hookers-rugby-history/3/ 3. ^https://punditarena.com/rugby/bbarry/opinion-the-greatest-six-nations-xv-of-all-time/ 4. ^https://www.ruck.co.uk/worlds-greatest-xv-the-best-ever-rugby-team-in-pictures/ 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://stats.espnscrum.com/statsguru/rugby/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=tries;position_subcategory=1;template=results;type=player |title=Player Records, overall figures, tight five, by total tries scored |work=Statsguru |author=SFMS Limited |publisher=ESPN |accessdate=17 February 2019}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/statsguru/rugby/player/274837.html?class=1;template=results;type=player;view=match |title=Joe Taufete'e: Player analysis, match list |work=Statsguru |author=SFMS Limited |publisher=ESPN |accessdate=17 February 2019}} 7. ^{{citeweb|url = http://thescore.thejournal.ie/keith-wood-hall-of-fame-1785381-Nov2014/|title= Keith Wood inducted into IRB Hall of Fame|date=18 November 2014|work=The Score|accessdate=18 November 2014}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/keith-wood-kicks-off-killaloe-restaurant-wood-bell-1.3333808|title=Keith Wood kicks off Killaloe restaurant Wood&Bell|work=The Irish Times|access-date=2018-05-11|language=en-US}} External links
