Freddie Burns - Hero | Leicester Tigers Rugby Tribute

Freddie Burns is the quintessential outside-half: a reliable goalkicker, an excellent line-reader, an adroit master of the drop goal. Never have these traits been more discernable than during his two stints at Leicester Tigers, in which he accumulated more than five-hundred points and, most notably, scored the Premiership-winning drop goal during last season's final.
In the wake of his announcement that he will soon be moving to New Zealand to play for the Highlanders, a tribute was only necessary. Go well, Freddie. You're a Leicester Legend!

Freddie Burns, Tiger to the core.

A man born in Bath, but raised in Leicester!

Onions appear when I see Freddie Burns. I missed him the first time he left, was overjoyed when he returned. I wish him success and hope we will see him again soon in whatever form. A player, or fan.

You took the words right out my mouth, Sophie. Beautifully worded. Though I'm an Exeter fan, I've always had a soft spot for Leicester and at least fifty-percent of that has to do with Freddie Burns. Phenomenal player. Thanks for watching and commenting!
