A true rugby icon and legend of the game not only in Leicester but throughout the game.
Always gave his all in his own way whether on the pitch or waiting your table at Timos.

So glad he appears to have found happiness after the game

Is that because his electrics were always faulty

A brilliant interview- cult hero but a brilliant player. Cannot think of a better prop in Premiership history who was just as good both sides of the scrum.

if Castro walked into welford road we would all still lord his name! He underestimates how much we loved him here and still do

I remember lots of us wearing Castro masks when he might have left us. All round great guy.

Didn’t his sister marry Lugovoi? And they had twins, both boys? His old are they now? Budding props?
