Has Allen left?

[kingol22]

Must have missed something but the Tigers Facebook page has just wished a happy birthday to "former centre Anthony Allen"

Has he retired or just moved?

[JackFlashJonny]

He retired due to injury in the summer unfortunately..

AA is now an academy coach, and when hear these lads saying they've never seen such awesome handling and footwork skills, you know you have the right man doing the right job.

Is that confirmed now?

Brilliant if true was hoping we could keep him involved.

Or he may be available to help you lay your new flooring.

that is a shame, 28 and already retired. Makes you understand why players are so tempted by the paycheques over seas.

Just so! On both counts.

Seeing players patched up like they often are and some of the injuries they suffer makes me realise they are entitled to ask for every penny they can get!

Having known Anthony for several years although he is no longer playing, he is a tiger through and through and whatever he does he will be brilliant at. Perhaps he should consider standing as an MP, it would be nice to get the odd honest person in Parliament.

I think it was a knee injury that ended his playing career.
Sadly for him he wasn't the size of a truck which seems to be a requirement to play international centre these days or he would have had a few more caps.

Oooh, you name dropper you

Anthony Allen, Anita Roddick, friends in every country and rugby club in Europe. Is there anybody you don't know, Noddy? Apart from me, that is?

[Redmiletiger]

Just for information, Anthony Allen spent yesterday morning assisting with the First XV squad pre-season training at Oakham School.

So how come he was never allowed to do that on the paddock?
