David Matthews, Leicester Tigers’ record appearance holder and former player, captain, coach, president and director, has died at the age of 82.
So very sad - what a servant to our Club as described in the obituary...

Such a lovely bloke. My wife and I were charmed by this unassuming gentleman.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

An absolute gent and an invaluable Tiger in every sense.
A very sad loss to his family and Tigers.

RIP Tiger.
Lived the dreams of many, held in high regard by even more.
