Former Leicester Tigers stars Tim Stimpson and Ben Kay are the latest legends to share their memories of the 2000/01 European Cup final as part of the club’s 20th anniversary celebration.
The club went on to a 34-30 victory over Stade Français at the Parc des Princes in Paris to lift the Heineken Cup as European champions for the first time.
