Contents

Russell, born in Belfast, was a fly-half for Instonians and Ulster. [1]

Capped four times for Ireland, Russell's debut against England at Twickenham in the 1990 Five Nations was in a bad defeat and he didn't get another opportunity until his recall for the 1992 tour of New Zealand. [2] In the first Test at Carisbrook, he kicked three conversions and a penalty, as Ireland came close to upsetting the All Blacks. [3]

Russell is now an IT executive. [4]
