Fergus McFadden was announced as the 21st OLSC Legend after the Benetton Rugby game on Saturday.
McFadden – ‘Ferg’ to Leinster supporters – has amassed 429 points for the province and won his 177th cap after taking part in a hard-fought draw with Benetton.
Ferg has thrilled Leinster fans over 12 seasons playing with skill, guile and a level of physical commitment that personifies the man.
Sporting his old school tape headband, Ferg won his first cap for Leinster against the Cardiff Blues at Cardiff Arms Park in 2007. He played a major role in last season’s historic double, featuring 17 times and scoring three tries.
OLSC President Aisling O’Connor presented Ferg with his T-shirt with a packed Laighin Out Bar watching on.
With his wife and family present, Ferg enjoyed a special night. Ferg’s son Freddie, not present on the night due to it being past his bedtime, got his very own custom ‘Ferg’ T-shirt with ‘My Dad’s an OLSC Legend’ written across the back. A special moment for a proud Mum and Dad.
The OLSC on behalf of all supporters were delighted to honour and thank Ferg for his service. Check out photo’s of the night here.
