On this episode of the Ulster Rugby lad podcast I’m delighted to say that I’m joined by Ulster Rugby legend Andy Ward.
Every Ulster fan will know Andy Ward – I remember watching him as a kid and thinking that he was hard as nails - I was, and still am, a huge fan of his.
A rock solid and unflappable presence for Ulster, he was, like all good flankers, the heartbeat of the team and had the respect of his team-mates and fans.
Andy was part of the legendary Ulster team that won the European Cup in 1999 and went on to captain Ulster and also got 28 caps for Ireland.
After leaving Ulster he continued to play for Ballynahinch and coached Belfast Harlequins and Cooke, opened a successful chain of gyms and did punditry for BBC NI. He now has his own business doing gardening and landscaping called Silver Fern.
I could have sat and spoken to him for ages, he has some class stories. Really enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy listening.
