William John Heaton "Will" Greenwood, MBE (born 20 October 1972) is an English former rugby union player who played for Leicester Tigers and Harlequins and was a member of the 2003 World Cup-winning squad. He played in the centres, mainly at inside-centre, although he was able to play at outside-centre.
Born 20 October 1972 in Blackburn, Lancashire, Greenwood was educated at St Mary's Hall and Sedbergh School, where he was in the first team for Rugby and Cricket. As a schoolboy, he was also a talented cricketer and played for the Lancashire Schools representative team before ultimately deciding to concentrate on rugby. He graduated with a BA in Economics from Hatfield College, Durham in 1994. His father Dick Greenwood played at flanker for and later coached the England Rugby Union team.
Greenwood played his club rugby for the London-based Harlequins, having also played for Preston Grasshoppers, Waterloo and Leicester Tigers.
As rugby had yet to turn professional, he moved to London and worked as a trader at a bank before joining Harlequins. He eventually left Harlequins and moved to Leicester Tigers in 1996 because the presence of England centre Will Carling meant he could not get first team rugby.
I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
