Former France and Sale Sharks forward Sebastien Chabal has revealed amnesia has left him without a single memory of his rugby career and the birth of his daughter.
The 47-year-old, capped 62 times by France, earned the nickname Caveman through his professional career off the back of his rugged appearance and reputation as one of the game's hardest players.
Chabal represented France at two World Cups but cannot remember any of his career highlights or major life events.
He says he does not remember a single second of a rugby match he played.
He says he does not remember a single one of the 62 Marseillaises French national anthem.
The Caveman says he has a few childhood memories, but does not have memory of past moments.
In 2010, Sebastian Chabal was reported to be the highest-paid rugby player in the world, earning 1 million Euros per year and was a prominent figure in French rugby, known for his size, barn-storming style, and lucrative commercial deals.
Chabal reached the World Cup semi-finals with France in 2003 and 2007.
