| Length of time in Cardiff & reason: Been here since November 2001. I suppose an excess of alcohol in my bloodstream brought me here, I woke up one morning with a hazy recollection of having said yes to a two year contract here in Cardiff, so over I came and its kind of snowballed from there. |

Comments: Quotes:
“We’re a drinking team with a football problem” – myself – most Saturdays before a game..
“Oh Yes!!!” JP Powers response to everything
“Look into his eyes….” Part of Deccie’s speech before each county final
“What’s he on about now?...” – everyone else after any of Deccies’s speeches
“we need 60 tons of topsoil” – Jimmy’s calculations let him down again when he thinks of improving the garden (all 10m2 of it) for a BBQ in 2004
“lets split up into two teams : those of us from Ireland against the rest of ye from Ulster.” – myself before a practice game at training in 2003. Was trying to add a bit of spice before the game as everyone said that we weren’t aggressive enough in training. Lets just say it worked, can’t remember who won the game though…
Comments: It’s a great club with a good atmosphere, have definitely made some friends for life during my time here, the social occasions are good especially the trips away. The club is a definitely a small little home from home for us here. |
