Trying not to sound like a rebel youth, I didn’t use to read much, but I’m getting into it. Currently reading Mick Galwey’s autobiography. |

|

|
Food(s) |
Sirloin Steak, with all the trimmings goes down well. Other than that, if I get roast potatoes I am happy. |

Hawaii is idyllic, Stockholm and Kerry of course. |
|
How long supporting LI? |
I went to a couple of games on the last year at Sunbury, and generally went to every home game at the Stoop, and now the MadStad. |
|
Best ever LI game (Excluding 2002 cup final) |
Agen at the Stoop, when we won it in the last minute. Not a major tie, but it was great to snatch it right at the end like that. Dax, Toulouse and Bristol all get honourable mentions. |
|
Favourite LI experience off pitch (Excluding 2002 cup final) |
Annoyingly, I didn’t get in to see the Cup Semi, so we watched it at Sunbury. It was a great feeling at the end when it was finally confirmed, although I never doubted Irish would blow such a lead. |
|
How did you start supporting LI? |
It’s in the blood I guess. Dad and myself went to a couple of games and liked the atmosphere, and then we got around to trying to learn the sport. |
|
What are your non-rugby pastimes? |
Nottingham Forest, Golf, Badminton, journalism, the Internet, and such. |
|
Any Irish connection? |
Absolutely, every generation above mine was born in Ireland and I consider Irish being the bigger half of my nationality. |
|
Most likely to say? |
“ahar”, “aye” and “sound”. |
|
Least likely to say? |
Anything other than the aforementioned one-worders, apparently. |
|
Tell us something about you we don't know. |
At this point I’d like to make clear my hair is not normally green, I did it for Comic Relief and St. Pat’s. |
