Anthony Peter Anglesea (born 30 October 1971 in Blackrod, Lancashire, England)[http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/player/14253.html Pete Anglesea rugby profile] Scrum.com was a rugby union rugby player, who played back row for the Sale Sharks. Highly regarded by Sale when forced to retire through injury in 2006, he first took a role with the Academy at Sale and is now part of the coaching set up with the first team.
