The greatest Leicester Tigers XV in history has been named – no Ford or Healey

Leicester Tigers have played home to some of the greatest rugby players in history.

The team may have struggled over the past few years prior to their Premiership title win this past year, but lest we forget the success the club has enjoyed in the past.

Thanks to the enormous amount of world-class players to have plied their trade at Welford Road down the years, the Tigers have secured an extraordinary number of trophies.

At the time of writing, Leicester have won 11 league titles (runners-up seven times), two Champions Cups and up to nine other trophies.

Yeah, that’s a lot of silverware.

There are simply too many legendary players to pick from.

But despite that fact, one fan has shared his take on the ‘greatest Leicester Tigers’ debate – and they’ve made some seriously bold calls.

Austin Healey, Dan Cole, Lewis Moody, Will Greenwood, George Ford and Jony May are just some of the star names to not make the cut.

Let’s take a look at their team in full:
