Timothy Andrew Keith "Tim" Rodber (born 2 July 1969) is a retired rugby union footballer who played at Number eight, flanker or lock for Northampton Saints, England, and the British and Irish Lions.
Rodber excelled at rugby from an early age, representing his school, as well as local sides Petersfield R.F.C. and Oxford Old Boys. He attended Churcher's College and studied biology at Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes University) on Army scholarships.
Rodber was a Captain in the Green Howards infantry regiment of the British Army and remained so even after rugby turned professional. He resigned in 2001 after retiring from the sport.
In 1987 Rodber joined the Northampton Saints academy and would go on to become club captain. He made his debut for England in the 25-7 victory over Scotland in the 1992 Five Nations Championship.
Good performances, including helping England to win the 1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens title, earned him a call-up to the 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa.
