Des Foy

Profile

Des Foy came back to play for Oldham after originally turning professional with Widnes. A centre with real pace, Des was the leading Oldham try scorer on four occasions, his best total being in 1987-88 when he crossed for 22 touchdowns, including two in the Second Division Premiership Final victory over Featherstone Rovers at Old Trafford. He also played a major part in laying on the late match winning try that day for Kevin Meadows and his overall performance earned him the man of the match award.

The highlight of his career was to be selected for the 1984 tour to Australia and New Zealand, although he had the unenviable task of having to make his international debut playing out of position at stand off, against the great Wally Lewis at the Sydney Cricket Ground ! After a brief spell in Australia he returned to the club, showing he had lost none of his old form when scoring five tries in the 48 – 10 win over Hunslet on January, 7th, 1990.
