Eljay Connors - The Age

Post: # 495045Post SaintBot »

nice little article on the backpage of the sport about his name

And no, the story behind his name doesn't hang around a proud dad who had put away one too many on New Year's Eve, rather a touching tribute to a family member. "One of my three older brothers, his name was Leo Joseph Connors, and his nickname was 'LJ'," Mark Connors, father of Eljay, said from Echuca yesterday. "He died of a brain tumour and Eljay was born just before he passed away." Mark's wife Meryl came up with the idea, took out a pen and paper and experimented with combinations of LJ. And soon arrived at Eljay.

Because we all know that people with good looks make the best footballers :roll:

Least we know if he does become good he will stay away from attractive blondes in LA- prevention is better than cure :P

If he can play footy, chicks will love him no matter what

Just look at Dal and roo, they arent the best looking blokes in the world yet are loved because they are good at footy


I mean, if you didnt know Roo and Dal and they walked down the street, would you honestly say 'wow that guy is hot' like ppl would now, now that they know them anyway


I still think it is on par for Eljay and Raymond for 2 of the hottest Saints to ever get drafted but if Ling can do it, so can Eljay

He acutally looks like he would have a disease of some kind

Opps, you are about to be flamed by the 6,752 posters that have some form of "Dal Santo" or "Riewoldt" in thier username. :wink:

As for my thinking, Eljay is no looker, no comment on Dal or Roo. :wink:

I know i will be slammed for it, but honestly. Would they get a look if they were not good at footy??? I think they arent ugly, they just arent as hot as people make out

Studies have shown that the body type required for AFL football is seen to be the most attractive to females. I'm sure even Cameron Ling would do well enough if he wasn't playing footy but still had the same physique.

Was he too young to take in the rookie draft? I would have rathered to have done that and elevated Eddy.

Knowing our luck, he'll be playing by round 5 anyway (Eddy that is).
