Re: OTY retires
He and his family have had to go through a lot in recent years and I wish them all the very best for the future. By any possible measure his achievements on the rugby field have been outstanding and I feel privileged to have had the chance to share many of them. He will always be remembered for the service he has shown the club and I trust he will be around for many years to come sharing those memories.
Good luck Tom and thank you for all you have given.

Re: OTY retires
Gutted but inevitable. Nice that he's leading the team out on Saturday. Should give him a few minutes at the end if we're winning by a decent margin.
Thanks Tom, true tigers legend. You'll be missed.

I'm not totally serious, but imagine 2 minutes to go Tigers up by 20 points. Tom Young's comes on for a standing ovation.
Not gonna happen but would be nice.

Re: OTY retires
I do agree it would be nice but only 8 subs allowed and if we were to get an early injury could be problematic

Bleeds red white and green, always gave 100% and drove the standards on and off the pitch

IF top spot was achieved prior to Wasps you could 6-2 the bench and have 2 Hookers on the benchRugbygramps wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 5:07 pmI do agree it would be nice but only 8 subs allowed and if we were to get an early injury could be problematic

Re: OTY retires
A remarkable career comes to an end, glad to have seen it from start to finish, i remember him as a promising centre and being amazed when he changed path to become an international quality hooker, a great servant to the club and a wonderful captain in very difficult times. Above all a thoroughly nice guy always approachable and respectful to Tiger's fans, a great family man and I wish him all the best for the future, I hope we continue to see him at Welford road watching the game from the stands.
