Thanks Chuter!

I echo the sentiments of all the posters on this thread, great player, great guy and a great laugh.

GOOD LUCK GEORGE

[BJ.]

One of the nicest guys I have evr met (although he won't remember me) and I wish him all the best in his retirement from playing. I am sure that will not be his only involvement in rugby during his life and that he can look forward to passing on his immense knowledge of the dark arts of the front row to many many young players. Thanks for everything George.

I'm sure I read somewhere recently there's a rumour Chutes is going to join Sam Vesty at Wuzza's academy as a forwards coach. I think I saw it on the currently-running transfer rumours thread.

All the best in your retirement Chutes - how will they fill the 'Inside Line' pages next season?!

Best wishes to a true Tiger.

Good luck in whatever you plan to do next, apart from not training of course.

A true Tigers Legend and an amazingly great bloke. Cheers Chutes and I just hope you stay in touch with everyone at Welford Road

Maybe Tigers should think about introducing a Lifetime Achievement Award too! I'm sure it's not too late and, apart from a little juvenile silliness when he was at the Saracens, he has been, yet another, great Tigers stalwart!
