OMG. Neil Etheridge = smoking hot new Folded & Hung Endorser

OMG. Neil Etheridge = smoking hot new Folded & Hung Endorser

I’m sure all of you have been seeing the photos of the new Folded & Hung endorser and beloved Azkals (Philippine Football Team) goalie, Neil Etheridge. It has many of us slightly shell shocked for  sure. Yes he has recently developed the habit of removing his shirt after games and treating the crowd to an eyeful (too bad he didn’t start that habit during the Suzuki Cup where I watched him live here in Jakarta twice!

Azkals Team Building at Plantation Bay Cebu

It’s been a while since I did a post on the Azkals and I saw these really fun pics of the Azkals during their team building in Cebu.

So here are some of the pics in no particular order, with permission from Ace Bright, for your enjoyment. =)

I was telling Rob Gier during our lunch with Azkals here in Jakarta that I wanted to have them sign something but I was a bit embarrassed. And with some encouragement from him to send over something for the team to sign (he said he would pass it around) I sent them the pics I took of them for signing.

Philippines vs Indonesia Suzuki Cup Semi-finals 2nd Leg Live

Taking a picture behind the goal

Continued from yesterdays post on Watching the Suzuki Cup Philippines vs. Indonesia Semi-finals 2nd leg live. I want to add words to recount this crazy experience of taking pictures behind the pitch and waiting for the player to exit so we can convoy out with them, girls in cars beside the bus trying to get the players attention while smoking (Hmmmm… I wonder if that ever works with athletes? =P), and so much more!
