#152 – Union player – League supporter – Bereaved Father – Andrew Foster

My guest this week is Rugby Union player and Rugby League fan – Andrew Foster.

This interview was recorded in March of 2024 and we talked about Foz growing up in League country, what it’s like to take a bunch of southern softies to the Challenge Cup Final, thoughts on player recruitment and retention in lower teams and what it’s like as a teacher to play alongside one your students.

We also spoke about Foz’s son, Rycroft – who is sadly no longer with us having passed away last year after being diagnosed with the incredibly rare Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. This is a raw insight into parental bereavement. Foz shared this with the hope of helping others.

This is a truly meaningful episode – I hope you enjoy.
