Anthony Foley: ‘It’s not the team you support, it’s the club’

Match after match last season, Anthony Foley looked around his beloved Thomond Park and squirmed in embarrassment. 

The stadium meant everything to him. It was where his father Brendan had played his part in Munster’s famous victory over the All Blacks in 1978 and led Shannon to Munster Cup glory.

Once he himself came on the scene, he picked up silverware there in the cause of St Munchins, Shannon and Munster.
