Bill Igoe
Squadron Leader William Anthony Kevin (Bill) Igoe, F.R.Ae. S., C.E., (17 Apr 1911 – 15 Nov 1993), was an Irish born Royal Air Force officer who was Senior Controller for No. 11 Group RAF at RAF Biggin Hill. He was also a noted sportsman and businessman.
== Early Life & Sporting Career ==
He was born in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary and educated at (Presentation College Bray ), Co. Wicklow and the Engineering College in Cork, part of University College Cork. This led to a scholarship to study aeronautical engineering at the London College of Aeronautical Engineering, and from there he joined the RAF. His sporting career began at this time. He was particularly gifted on the rugby field where he played for the Leinster Schools XV against both Connacht and Munster in the 1928/29 season. He also won a Munster senior Cup medal with Dolphin during the 1930/31 season. In England he played for London Irish and the RAF. The 1935 edition of Who’s Who in Sport listed his activities as rugby, boxing, tennis, golf, and swimming, in the first two of which he represented the RAF. He was Captain of London Irish in 1949, and played his last game at the age of 40 in 1951. During the period he also had international rugby trials for Ireland twice, although nothing came of them due to service commitments. He went on to play squash at the highest level, and his career as an amateur golfer reached its apex with winning the (Gleneagles Pro-Am ) tournament in 1959, in which most of the country’s biggest names participated that year.
