How long supporting LI?

On and off since 1978

Best ever LI game (Excluding 2002 cup final)

Sorry to be personal but my first ever run out for LI beating Rosslyn Park at Sunbury. Mentioned favourably in the Irish Times because I bought the journalist more drinks than anyone else. Downhill from there.

Favourite LI experience off pitch (Excluding 2002 cup final)

Finnegan driving the hire car across some French person’s garden lawn in the famous “regional market incident” so he could make the Brive game on time

How did you start supporting LI?

In 1978/9 Tim Webster, LI No. 8 and England U-23 player and mentor, encouraged me to come up to Sunbury from Hants and have a go. I didn’t really cut the mustard as a player but fell in love with the club

What are your non-rugby pastimes?

Driving up and down the M4. Otherwise would consider anything EXCEPT golf.

Any Irish connection?

Well, I signed the piece of paper in 1978 that said I had an Irish Grandmother in order to play for LI. In actual fact I had a great grand mama from Sligo.

Most likely to say?

Hello, that’s 5 guineas please

Least likely to say?

Lawyers are overpaid
