Twickenham hero Alex King admits he might have played his last game for Wasps.

But the outside-half from Brighton is delaying a decision on his future as he enjoys a break after his team's glorious Heineken Cup victory.

King kicked 15 points and played his part in a triumph of tactical know-how and defensive steel as Wasps beat hot favourites Leicester 25-9 in Sunday's final.

It was King's 50th appearance in the competition and his seventh successive Twickenham final win with Wasps.

The result also completed a great sporting weekend for Brighton College old boys, following Matt Prior's century at Lord's on Friday evening.

It might also have been a Wasps swansong for 32-year-old King, who is out of contract.

He admitted: "I've got some big decisions to make in the next few weeks.

"I'm going on holiday now and I'll take time to think it over.

"Wasps have offered me a new contract. I could move to France or Italy. I've got decisions to make "If I had finished the season through injury it might have been different."

If this is the end of King in black and gold, he bows out having played a major role in what has widely been described as club rugby's biggest ever match.

Leicester were expected to win by many among a sell-out Twickenham crowd, given the way they thrashed Gloucester in the previous week's Premiership final.

But, rather than being daunted, King insisted Wasps benefited from seeing the Tigers at full power that day.

He said: "You learn a huge amount watching a game like that.

"With the ball carriers they have, you've got to deny them space and time with the ball. We did that.

"The main goal was to put them under pressure. We made sure they didn't really settle."

And yet Wasps led only 13-9 at the break having played some outstanding rugby and scored two clever tries.

King, whose missed kicks in that half cost ten points, said he was not too worried when the ball was not going over for him.

Asked about what went wrong, he joked: "The forwards kept scoring wide out. As a kicker, you know you are going to miss sometimes.

"It wasn't as though I was striking the ball badly. That would have been more of a worry. A couple of them just drifted across.

"For me the key kick was the one which put us 16 points up with about eight minutes to go. That was a pressure kick so I was really pleased to get that one.

"We said all week we had to make sure they earned every point they got.

"I thought a couple of the penalties they got in the first half were pretty cheap.

"But not letting them score tries was the reason we won the game."

Wasps used to be the team who could never win at Twickenham.

But they have had a love affair with HQ ever since King's brilliant chip-and-chase try led to a 29-19 win over Newcastle in the 1999 Tetley's Bitter Cup final.

King was man-of-the-match with 24 points when Wasps thrashed table-topping Gloucester in the first season of the still somewhat controversial play-off system.

At the time, the result was seen by many as making a mockery of the league system but Wasps played the system to perfection.

They ripped up the script again two years later when they ruined farewell appearances by Martin Johnson and Neil Back for Leicester.

The nation was behind them, though, when they beat Toulouse in a classic Heineken Cup final in 2004.

That was the only one of the Twickenham wins in which King did not score a point, though he hit the post with a drop goal attempt.

Asked where the latest win ranks among those great days, King said: "I never like to compare them. They are all special in their own way.

"But this one had everything.

"Playing against a great team like Leicester in front of 82,000 people for the Heineken Cup. It doesn't really get any better than that.

"To win in the manner in which we did made you proud to be part of a great team performance."
