Tom Beim (born 11 December 1975 in Frimley, England) is a former professional rugby union footballer, who played on the wing for Sale, Gloucester, Viadana, Pertemps Bees, the Barbarians and England. He is now a professional polo player for Lodge Services polo team backed by Stuart Lodge.

Club Rugby

[edit]

Beim was a prolific try scorer in the Premiership with Gloucester and Sale before moving to Italian side Viadana. Beim holds the record for the number of tries scored in a Heineken Cup game, touching down five times against Italian club Roma. During his two seasons at Viadana he scored 31 tries. After a succession of injuries, Beim retired from professional rugby and has carved out a successful international polo career ever since. Whilst at Gloucester he started in the 2002 Zurich Championship Final (the year before victory in the play-offs constituted the new format for winning the English title) in which Gloucester defeated Bristol Rugby.[1]

International Rugby

[edit]

Beim made two appearances for England during the 1998 summer tour of New Zealand and featured in the England squad again in 2002 when he was called in as a replacement during the tour match of Argentina. He later toured there playing for the England A side on a number of occasions. He also appeared for the Barbarians.
