Ex-Tigers and Bath player Steve Booth dead at 42
By Ian Cameron
Former Leicester Tigers player Steve Booth has died suddenly at the age of 42.
It is understood that Booth died from a suspected heart attack on Tuesday afternoon in Leicester.
Primarily a winger, Booth played for Tigers from 2000 to 2004, and for Bath Rugby from 2004 to 2005.
A rugby league convert, the Pontefract-born utility back was also adept at scrum-half and was known for his pace.
A well-liked and popular character during his time at the club, the father-of-two's sudden death has shocked the wider Tigers' rugby community.
Tributes were made to Booth on Twitter.

You're right about Papalii, but he doesn't have much experience in closing stages and gets caught out alot. Cane is better there.
Sotutu isn't a scratch on Ardie, and Sititi is already in.
So that only leaves you not liking Ardie. He's the current world player of the year. Let that sink in. And then let it sink in that you need a blend with experience that players like him possess, you cannot pick flat out teams based on the best 'potential' skills, you need the experience. Papalii yes, which is coming anyway considering cane is off soon, but Ardie, you can't drop him. Sotutu doesn't trump him or Sititi I think.
I think maybe you're right for the next world Cup though...but we have to blend into that team over many more games

His words in 2019 before the RWC final that he now says should have resulted in Eddie's firing:
"Was Saturday’s sensational World Cup semi-final win over New Zealand England’s greatest ever performance? Yes, unquestionably, would be my answer."
So let's fire the coach one game later? Duh!
