The Blog is Back for 2008...and meet Donagh Foley (Old Boy #2), if you dare

The only reason this odd photo of a ginger Irishman who finds it rather hard not to get yellow-carded at crucual moments in international matches is here is because Donagh wanted it to be.

Happy New Year to all

Hope 2008 is treating you well so far. After two weeks of idleness (sorry Q, I have been injured), it's back to the fray this weekend. More to come on that, but to keep you happy for now, the Blog is proud to offer everything you never wanted to know about our esteemed Section Chairman, Mr Donagh Foley. Goodness knows what he's on about half the time but never mind. Once again, many thanks to Broony, whose links in the criminal underworld have been invaluable in setting up these delightful 'Meet the Old Boys' numbers.

Harps


Name: Donagh Foley
Age: 45
Year retired: 1998
Years at Club: 18
Occupation: Shepherd
Nationality: Irish
Rugby position: Centre (outside Woots and he was shit!!!)
Previous clubs: Associates (Perth), Wimbledon and Bective Rangers
Favorite things about rugby: Watching Sequins try to play rugby and then talk about it afterwards as if they had.
Favorite current HKFC player and why? Nigel Hobler. He's slow and looks like he needs a good feed. Reminds me of Don Rider in his prime. Now all Nige has to do is get the limp right.
Most embarrassing rugby spectating experience: 1999 World Cup. A pint of Guiness. Wootten. Sick. Need I say more (a bit of a Matt Dunning moment)?
Wanchai or Manila? Neither, but ex-Chairman Rider speaks highly of both.
Sequins corner or Sportsman's? Sequins Corner, where there is more bullshit spoken in one hour than at the UN in a whole year.
HKFC 10s or HKRFU 7s? 10s
Drinking with Woots or shopping with the wife? Shopping with the wife as I hate rum.
Marilyn Munroe or Sophia Loren? Sophia Loren - a better class of bird or so Burgess told me and he should know, they’re the same age.
