‘Whatever he did, he wanted to do it well’ - a tribute to Neville Furlong

Former Irish international and Garryowen stalwart, Neville Furlong, passed away last month, aged 49.

Growing up in the Gaelic Games hotbed that is Wexford, Neville Furlong inevitably held the ambition of wearing his county’s jersey on the biggest days of all at Croke Park.

He was talented enough as a footballer to pull on the purple and gold as a minor and U21 footballer but he also found time to try out rugby with Wexford Wanderers.
