RIP Ron Foley - diehard - 01-08-2021 Ron Foley, aka Shamrock, died last week. He was a frequent poster on here and we'll miss his cheeky contrary commentary. Please feel free to post any stories or comments on this thread. He will be missed. RE: RIP Ron Foley - diehard - 01-08-2021 Here is an interview, complete with picture of Ron in 2013: http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/auckland-city-harbour-news/9346225/In-the-blue-corner RE: RIP Ron Foley - bart - 01-08-2021 AHH geez thats upsetting, really enjoyed his banter and our Irish connection. RIP mate RE: RIP Ron Foley - craigyid14 - 01-09-2021 This is sad news, rest in peace champ. RE: RIP Ron Foley - African Monkey - 01-12-2021 Loved his hatred towards Joseph Parker and Duco haha. RIP. RE: RIP Ron Foley - Kiwi - 01-13-2021 Sham and I had our disagreements But he will be greatly missed. Very sad to hear this news. Prayers and condolences to his family during this time.... RE: RIP Ron Foley - diehard - 01-13-2021 Sham didn't believe half of what he said. He was a stirrer--and a great forum sparring partner. At his request, I visited his son when I was on the Sunshine Coast years ago, as he had a gym there. He was one of the few amateurs who beat Tua, and according to Sham, they talk about it with David when they get together. He also trained Tua's nephew when Sham had his gym in panmure. Said he was a special talent. I'll miss Sham heaps. He was one of the good ones. We've been friends for 20 years. RE: RIP Ron Foley - Msreef - 01-14-2021 Wow that's really sad. Best wishes to his family in this difficult time. RE: RIP Ron Foley - justafan - 01-15-2021 Wow, completely missed this. Very sad indeed. Great guy who gave his life to this sport. Leaves a serious legacy as has touched the lives of many you kids coming through the amateur ranks. I bet there would be some epic stories come out at and after the funeral. RIP |
