You could say it's running through his veins.......
As I was sat in the tattoo-ists chair, he said to me " I've never done a Halifax Bluesox tattoo before, but I've done loads of Brad**** B**** ones" That took some restraining as I was in enough pain as it happened :P






FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........

Playing quality rugby is a far better marketing tool than a ridiculous nickname. Sox was a very poor choice compared to the other names chosen by clubs.
