Tom Flynn(former club president)

“I decided after the last Berkshire match that it is better to play rugby in a cold, hard, driving rain with 30 good friends and then drink beer... than it is to sit in a stadium in a cold, hard driving rain, drinking beer and watching 22 strangers play football. I prefer the company of friends, to entertainment by strangers. (Tom Flynn, 2007)

Bio: Flynnie is a former club president and has been instrumental is the Greys growth as a club... spends a lot of time in the back line, so we think he wants to end his carreer as a wing. The problem is a 40 yard dash time that is well over 47 minutes. Very handy to have at Randalls Island games due to his extensive knowledge of New York City's streets. (but, unfortunately,not its laws.)Tom's most famous saying (at least recently) is "What new jerseys?" Good thing he looks good in solid Grey.
