Alex with Heineken cup, 2007

I really thought he would stay at Wasps one more year before retiring, but Alex King is off to play next season at French club Clermont.

Devastating news for me, a drooling fan for the past six years, but also bad news for the club, as he leaves big shoes to fill at fly half. A measure of this will be how well the team does without him and I can’t predict any trophies next year for the club. The H-cup match in January when Wasps meet Clermont will be interesting. Could be a good day trip for my birthday, as is tradition.
