Revision as of 15:25, 8 December 2005 by 60.240.144.50 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Girvan Dempsey is the highly talented Irish and Leinster full back. He has a stalwart of Irish Rugby and is one of the best players in his position in the World. Girvan is also known as "Girve the swerve" and "the Girvanator." Girv started his rugby career at Terenure College and played full back for Terenure College RFC. Despite performing at club level, he has been unable to make the step to International rugby, seemingly overwhelmed by the pace and intensity of rugby at its very best.
Despite this, he has more than 50 caps for Ireland and can also play at out-half when needs be, and is considered the greatest ever player for Ireland. He has very a impressive up-and-under kick and is an attacking option when he roars into the backline. People from a land called "Munster" dislike Girvan because he is like any of their talentless backs nor an Uncle Tom. Sane people follow Girvan, and are part of Girv's Gang and are on friendly terms with the "Caleb Crew", Caleb Ralph's unofficial fan club.
Girv is also known as Girvokoko (derrives from the All Black winger and was a Fijian Joe Rokocoko) when he plays on the wing, as a result of his electric pace and a freakish try scoring ability. Girvan Dempsey, the best full back in Ireland (tm) is a lot better than Uncle Tom turnstyle Geordan Murphy
He is fifth on the all time Irish try scoring charts.
Also helped Terenure College to a Senior Cup medal, he was quoted as saying(during a match while he sprinted home to score a try), "It was a privilege to attend a school of the quality of Terenure, god bless".
