Official Cotton Traders Leicester Tigers rugby training shirt from the 2008/09 season.

The condition of this original rugby jersey is 9/10 - Superb (see photos).

Heyneke Meyer was the board's choice to replace Marcelo Loffreda in 2007, however unfortunate family circumstances led to his resignation. Richard Cockerill took over until the end of the season, having guided Leicester to a home Heineken Cup quarter final against Bath. He was appointed head coach on 17 April 2009.

On Sunday 3 May 2009 Leicester Tigers made history in their Heineken cup semi-final against Cardiff Blues when a place kicking competition was required to decide the outcome for the first time. The teams were drawing 26–26 after normal time and there was no score during extra time. As both teams had scored two tries the place kicking competition was the decider.

Leicester won this 7–6 after backrow forwards Craig Newby and Jordan Crane both succeeded with their place kicks. In the 2009 Premiership final Leicester beat London Irish (10–9), with a try from Crane and 5 points from the boot of Dupuy. The following week Leicester lost the Heineken Cup final in Edinburgh to Irish province Leinster, containing former Leicester favourites captain Leo Cullen and openside Shane Jennings.
