That's no problem. It's not the first time I'd been asked this kind of questions, everyone know I am a Norwich fans since 1992, but start from 2001, when I know how to use internet and messageboard, I do not know why but I start to get the attention of the Norwich City fans, and the Norwich City players and staffs; their fans heavily question my existence but of course the club do not, they are not only asking my age, but what do I do, do I have girlfriend or any other things, perhaps I spend too many time in the messageboard, too concern of one or two players, who they think they are not favour with. For some reasons, mostly I think they are my favourite players, of course mostly Norwich players, I meet them before and I speak to them, and they give me a lift too. People in Hong Kong said they would never wear a signed shirt, they will frame them; but for me, I always wear them because it's normal to me to have a signed shirt.
I did not start to follow Rory early in his career, as I said I support the All Whites since World Cup 2010, and without Rory's goal, I would not able to watch a team in South Africa, who play the style of football I love, which not many teams will play in international stages. Without the All Whites, I won't know about Wellington Phoenix, and support them. I spend my annual leave (not many, just 17 days) to go to England to watch football since I leave University, while I go to watch football, I only go to the place who related to football, I won't go to any sight seeing.

I won't feel embarrassed to be honest although I am an adult, but I have been extremely lucky with the players I like, players I support, except Rory Fallon and Grant Holt are the only players I never meet before; but most of them: Rob Newman, Daryl Sutch, Gary Holt, Adam Drury, Russell Martin and Jamie Cureton, I speak to them in many occcasions, signed on my shirt, take lots of photos and even have dinner with them before! Perhaps they all know I am the overseas fans ,and they know how much and how and how long I spend, and travel a lot to see them, and they are superbly nice and fantastic to me.
As I said I did not meet Rory before but in the coming trip to England, something may happen...
Truro City vs Torquay United photo.
According to his Wikipedia page at the moment, Rory is a hat. It's some very strange trolling.
Rory Fallon make his Truro City debut, with wearing no.10!!! Come on Rory!!!
Some impressive names on that team card!
River, Afful, Hardcastle, Cornhill, Bush...

Half of the team are ex Plymouth Argyle. They should rename themselves the Devon exiles!
Love how Truro City plays in All White.
Did they win?

If that is the "real" Rory, that guy in the middle must be Andre The Giants long-lost 7ft tall son
Something amiss. Rory is 6'3". Is the bloke in the middle a fat Peter Crouch?
Rory's head has defo been shopped onto that body
What if Fallon isn't even at Truro City and it's all a big conspiracy?
Arrun Pugh, the player in between Cody Cooke and Rory, is 6 foot 5!
So yeah, Rory's head does look weird but scale wise it's accurate...and his skin colour looks accurate too!
Edit: Scale as in height, not head size

Don't think so he must be model the kit, and well I decide to buy all 3 to be honest

He must be in I can prove, the chairman leave me a message and say Rory is a nice guy!

Too many ice creams.
That`s less than one month for me to go to see Rory, but thanks to Norwich EFL Cup against Everton, I will have chance to see another Kiwi playing possibly. Anywaym flight ticket not purchase yet since I had to wait for the EFL Cup date! Absolutely looking forward to it!!!
Rory still not score for Truro City yet, but their result improved after Rory not starting for them anymore, oh my!!!

I play Walking Football in the morning, get one assist and one goal by using this boot!
We're on the trip to Truro City! Will see Rory in late Saturday afternoon! Post any questions if you want to ask Rory!?
I finally back to Hong Kong, I must say I had a superb 2 days with Rory -- watch him coaching on the pitch, give me a lift from Truro to Plymouth, dinner with him and actually he pay the bill, an unexpected special gift, go to have ice cream of course, and finally he give me a short tour in Plymouth! I will get all the pictures and experience sorted, hopefully will update all within next Monday. Watch this space!!! :-)

That sounds awesome. Well done Rory! (and Nixie)
Imagine what such a tour would of been like with his old man in the old days?

What a legend Fallon is. Say what you like about his footballing prowess but off the pitch he's fantastic. How many other footballers in the world would do such a thing? Well done Rory!
top bloke. I don't agree with him playing for the all whites but as a person to have around the camp he'd be fantastic. Good stuff

Did he show you Plymouth Argyle's Home Park. We (Plymouth) are on a roll and Rory was liked at Home Park while he was at his playing peak. I also think he helped the club out when we went in to adminsitration in 2010/11.
After I come back to Hong Kong I have 6 days work, it's hard but worth it, great to see Nix win the first game of the season, but this topic is only about Rory Fallon. Here are the highlights of the trip, photos only, and the other post will be my experience with Rory. I will post the link at the end of next post if you want to see more photos.
The train bring me to Truro in Paddington Station.
Truro Station.
Truro City FC with Nixie.
I was even arrived earlier than the away team!
Inside the clubshop.
Clubshop manager Eddie, you can't believe she was the Kit Manager also!
The main man, he's not playing since he had a broken rib, but he's on the bench.
He's on the touchline.
More photos on the trip.
Second half kick off soon.
Final score: 2:2.
Dressing Room.
Photo with Truro City CEO Colin Bradbury, he was also the photographer of the club.
Rory give his car's key to me, we're prepare to leave...
Rory is my driver!!!
Rory drop me in the hotel, he help me to book it, it's GBP 30 for a night, it's extremely cheap to be honest.
What I bought from the clubshop, 5XL polo is 22 pounds, the cap and the badge, it's free of charge!
Dinner with Rory.
More photos.
Nixie did not like Rory?
He like it!
Nice dinner!
Nice dessert too!
This is the lego I customize in Hong Kong and give to Rory as a gift, he like it!!!
Has his name on the back.
Unexpectedly, I give Rory a lego, he give me his shirt play against Mexico! A player shirt since...
Big difference with the shirts I buy in NZF, the right one.
Player's shirt code is gold, fans shirt is silver only.
It's windy on the day.
