The official history of Leicester Tigers is being brought bang up to date - and you can have your name printed in the new publication.

At more than 500 pages and detailing all of the players and results since the club’s formation in 1880, plus the fascinating stories behind the headlines, the book makes an ideal addition to any supporter’s collection.
