Guess who’s coming to dinner?

TONIGHT I’m going for a drink and a bite to eat with Tony O’Reilly. Hang on, I’ll rephrase. Tonight I will be in a hotel room with 500 other people — and one of them will be AJF O’Reilly.

An ex-clubman, Tony is guest speaker at Dolphin's centenary dinner and it will be an honour to be in the same room as a true hero.

When God was throwing his great gifts buffet, O'Reilly loaded his plate with film star looks, Olympian ability, wit, a large dollop of intelligence and lashings of charisma. The anecdotes are too numerous to mention but suffice to say, at the dinner for all-time rugby characters, O'Reilly will be guest speaker and Willie John, Campese, McLaren, Meads et al, will be spellbound.
