Today is a very sad day for Tigers and Dave Denton. On 6th October last year at Twickenham we supported Saints in their benefit game for Rob Horne whose playing career was finished in the opening seconds of the previous Tigers v Saints game at Welford Road. At Twickenham we lost Jonny May in the first half and then in an innocuous tackle down went Dave Denton in the 39th minute and off for the HIA.
We really missed his renown play last season and all wished him a carefully managed recovery, in fact he told me after the Bath game that Tigers were providing the top London specialists and that he was hopeful of a return.
His future life and that of his family must come first and whilst he only played a few times in a Tigers shirt he excelled.
Best wishes for the future and thankyou Dave.
I wonder if Tigers will do "something special!" for the Gallagher Tigers v Saints game on the weekend of 16th May to honour his playing career?
Here is an account of his life and future career development in Edinburgh with his family.
~ Best wishes # Once a Tiger always a Tiger!
