Tom Furlong Irish-Born Professional American Football Player 1965-1966

Tom Furlong

Born: 1942, in Daingean, County Offaly, Ireland

Died: May 14, 2015, Boynton Beach, Florida.

Metrics: Height:6-0. Weight: 185

High School: Christian Brothers.

National Amateur: Offaly

College: None

Professional: New York Giants – (National Football League) Practice Squad 1965,  Atlanta Falcons (National Football League)  Preseason 1966 , Brooklyn Dodgers, (Continental Football League) 1966.

Position: Kicker

Career Statistics (Professional): Field Goals Made: 2 Field Goals Attempted: 10 Extra Points Made: 19. Extra Points Attempted: 21.

Biography: Tom Furlong was born in Daingean, County Offaly and played Inter-County Football for Offaly before being banned by the County Board for playing soccer and emigrated to New York. Sitting in a bar in New York in 1964, he overheard members of the New York Giants coaching staff lamenting the quality of their kickers (the Giants were having a woeful season) and having seen the game on TV, thought there was nothing to it a GAA player could not do and volunteered to try out. He got on the practice squad for the Giants in 1965, leading to interviews with the New York Times and other newspapers with Irish-American connections.

The Giants brought in a new kicker the following season but Irish-American community leaders, seeing the value of an Irish-born player in the NFL, arranged tryouts with the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. He was signed by the Falcons to a contract for $12, 000 a year, but unfortunately tore his cruciate ligament in training four days before the start of the season.

Furlong didn’t give up on a pro career, however, as he was only working as a carpet fitter at the time, a good job, but not paying nearly as much as Professional Football, and signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the Continental Football League where he played the 1966 season before retiring, as he thought his kicking was never as good after the injury.

REPORT

Condores UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México) were the inaugural champions of the new Conferencia Diez Grandes winning 41-16 in the Finale versus Borregos Salvajes ITESM-Monterrey (ITESM-Monterrey White Rams). The Condores had gone through the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record.

The 1992 season saw ITESM-Monterrey shocked in the Semi-Finals 3-33 by Aguilas Blancas IPN (Instituto Politecnico Nuevo) as the White Eagles went on to defeat Centinelas IGP 17-13 in the Finale.

Borregos ITESM-Monterrey regained the title in 1993 with a 20-13 victory over Aguilas Blancas IPN in the Finale after topping the regular season standings for the third year in succession.

The Rams repeated in 1994, although only after being knocked off the top of the standings by Aztecas UDLA (Puebla) who were defeated by the Rams 17-10 in the Finale.

Aztecas got revenge in 1995, however, defeating ITESM-Monterrey 7-6 in a close Semi-Final before triumphing 43-13 over Condores UNAM in the Finale. Condores had defeated Aguilas Blancas IPN, the Regular Season Champions, 22-19 in the Semi-Finals.

About ONEFA Liga Mayor Conferencia de los 10 Grandes

The ONEFA College Football Championship is one of the highlights of the Mexican American Football season, and was considered the National Championship from 1933 until recently, with challengers both the breakaway CONADEIP College League (2013 onwards) and the Liga Football Americano Profesional (LFA Mexico), a Major Pro League (2016 onwards).

There are a number of different eras in the ONEFA Championship, with UNAM Pumas and Condores UNAM the most successful teams. The Conferencia Diez Grandes (Big 10 Conference) was established in 1991, a level about the Conferencia Nacional (National Conference). It lasted until 2000 when the National Conference was merged with the Big 10 and divided into three regional Conferences with Quarter-Finals to Final Playoffs.

Tyrolean Raiders (Aut) vs Carlstad Crusaders (Swe)

Report

Sweden’s Carlstad Crusaders were winners of the EFAF-Cup in 2003 having triumphed 28-7 against Austria’s Tyrolean Raiders from Innsbruck in the Final. Tyrolean Raiders had finished top of their three-team Semi-Final Group scoring 50-plus points against both of their opponents (Great Britain’s PA Knights and Switzerland’s Zurich Renegades). The other Semi-Final was won by the Crusasders in a closer fashion, 25-12 versus Denmark’s NFA Monarchs. Carlstad had knocked out Roskilde Kings, also of Denmark in their Group match while the Monarchs had received a walkover from Ukraine’s Kiev Slavs in the other Group B game.

Group B was Single-Elimination Semi-Finals and Final (called Group Games and Semi-Finals respectively).

Report

London O’s won the fourth Euro Cup – American Football’s equivalent of Soccer’s UEFA Cup – by defeating Norway’s Oslo Vikings 12-0 in the Euro Cup IV Final in Heysel Stadium, Brussels. The tournament was nearly cancelled, but in the end went ahead with a Northern Division featuring two Norwegian Teams (Oslo and Eidsvoll 1814s) and two Danish teams (Kronborg Knights and Roskilde Kings) and a Central Division where London O’s won 63-2 on aggregate versus Amsterdam Crusaders, who travelled with a depleted squad for their second match in London, which had to be abandoned for safety reasons because the Crusaders were short players.

Report

Aarhus Tigers won Mermaid Bowl XI 28-0 versus Kronborg Knights. It was the Tigers’ second Mermaid Bowl in a row and third overall, leaving them just one behind record-holders Cophenhagen Towers. Aarhus had won all six Regular Season matches in the seven-team National Ligaen, while also competing in the EuroBowl. Kronborg Knights had finished second on 5-1, with Roskilde Kings (4-2) and Odense Swans (3-3) also making the playoffs.

There were a large number of lop-sided victories in the league with all 24 games going according to form, including the playoffs. Perhaps for this reason the National Ligaen was reduced to four teams for 1999-2000, which was to be played over Winter. Both Esbjerg Hurricanes and Vejle Saints were relegated to the 1.Division for the 1999-2000 season while Kronborg Knights folded after three Mermaid Bowl losses in three seasons.

Report

Kulosaari Roosters won Finland’s NFL Europe Schools Flag Football Championship in 2001, defeating Kaarela 32-21 in an exciting final. Karela were looking to overcome a 26-21 deficit with a couple of minutes to go, battling to the Kulosaari 7-yard line, but there they threw an interception in the endzone which was returned by the Roosters defense all the way back to the Kaarela endzone for the victory. Kulosaari now went on to represent Finland in the EFAF (European Federation of American Football) Group Championship against SHS Graz Air Force of Austria and Paris AS Flag of France. The winners of the EFAF Group progess to the World Flag Football Championships to be held in the German city of Berlin during Kinderfest – the Youth Festival – from 24th-27th August 2001.

The word Roost or Rooster comes from the Old English word for “To Come Back Home” or “To Sleep” meaning a Roosting Bird. It is also found in Old Norse as well as Manx, which comes from From Old Irish rúsc, from Proto-Celtic *ruskos, meaning Peel, Rind or Bark. [Reference: See 3]
