We have decided to introduce a new section to the website featuring some of the ‘legends’ of the game who have played (and in some cases still play!) for the club. The first is Paul Haycock who had a 25 year club playing career in Terenure College RFC and took some time out to answer a few short questions for us.
Paul was an outstanding winger. He didn’t just have pace, he was an all round footballer with a great kick and chase game too. He always worked hard on any weaknesses which is a lesson for those that have aspirations to play top class rugby. He was loyal to Terenure all his career and was a great favourite with the supporters. How thrilled we all were when he got his long overdue cap against the old enemy. His longevity makes him a true legend.
