Meet the Rebel: Liam Quigley

Hi boys and girls!

After a little hiatus we are back with a brand new Rebel for you.  Folks, I introduce to you, Mr. Liam Quigley.

 

Rebellion:  Where are you from?

Liam: Born in Providence but have always lived in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Rebellion:  What would you say is your first Revs memory?

Liam:  Well i know my first game was in 1996 with my parents (Revs beat the crew in one of those ridiculous regular season shootouts they had back in the day). But i was so young that i really cant remember anything from it. But a year later my entire youth soccer team went to a game and just going to a game with all my friends was one of the best memories for me. All i have to say is thank god we don’t still play in that awful stadium anymore. The weird thing is i remember how the game ended from the game in 96 but i cant even remember who the Revs played against in the game in 97.

Rebellion:  How about your worst Revs memory?

Liam:  man that’s a tough question…. Probably either Taylor Twellman retiring, or Shalrie being traded…. Probably Shalrie leaving. After so long it was just sad. I wanted to him to retire as a Revolution player. You don’t see many athletes dedicating so many years to a team like the Revs…. it would be like a baseball player dedicating his career to the Kansas city royals.

Rebellion:  Everyone has a favorite Revs memory, what would yours be?

Liam:  Honestly? Probably my favorite memory was seeing the Revs play Celtic in 2007 at Gillette with my Dad. Just because it gave me a chance to see my two favorite teams play each other even though Celtic didn’t field their first team.

Rebellion:  What’s something we might be surprised to know about you?

Liam:  For a really long time i really liked the Montreal Impact as my USL/NASL team…. BEFORE THEY WERE IN THE MLS! But they never came close to the Revs. Revs are the first team to me no matter what.

Rebellion:  For those Rebels who do know you, what’s something they don’t know about you?

Liam:  For all the talk i do about soccer i honestly am probably the worst FIFA player in the world. If you play, please don’t play against me…. it’ll just hurt my self esteem haha

Rebellion:  Do you work?  In School?

Liam:  At the moment i work at Iggy’s Doughboys and Chowderhouse in Warwick, but I’m looking for another job. And for school I’m on-again off-again at CCRI. One of the weird thing about working at Iggys is that lots of tourists come by to grab a quick bite and I’ve actually met a lot of MLS fans in the process. Ive had people come in from DC, Columbus, Chicago, NY/NJ, Houston, LA (galaxy), and the latest one was from TFC fans…. the TFC fans were the most obnoxious when i brought it up which I was surprised about.

Rebellion:  Do you have Twitter?  Would you like to connect with other Rebels & Revs fans?

Liam:  Absolutely not on the twitter question haha, I’m going to be the last person to join that. I don’t know what it is about twitter but i cant stand it. But feel free to friend request me on Facebook if you’re a Revs fan.

Rebellion:  Lastly, you joining us in Montreal in later this month?

Liam:  if i can get my passport ill be there…. so long as i can figure out a ride situation also if there’s no bus
