England rugby star puts Newbury pupils through their paces





Foden, who has won more than 30 caps for his country, dropped in to Horris Hill School to coach around 100 children between the ages of eight and 13.
He then signed rugby balls and posed for pictures before taking part in a question and answer session, where he gave the youngsters an insight into his career, training schedule and his chances of making the Six Nations.
He finished off the day by staying behind to watch the school’s first team in action.
Foden, who is married to Una Healy from the chart-topping pop group ‘The Saturdays’, later tweeted: “Good afternoon coaching Horris Hill School, maybe some future stars!”
Headteacher at the school, Giles Tollit, said: “Ben was a really nice, down to earth guy and absolutely brilliant with boys. He had a great rapport with them and answered so many questions.
“The coaching session went very well and it was a great way to kick-off our rugby season. Hopefully Ben’s visit will inspire the boys to have a winning season.”
