Papparazzi stalk Swannies again. Dave “Angry” Hadley and Miss Vietnam, Mai Phuong Thuy in teh papers and back in September 2010 at the footy in Saigon.

The Swannies have long been in a running battle with the papparazzi and in the lead up to the 2012 Asian Champs, unprecedented actions were taken to protect our stable of superstars.

Accordingly, the Swannies flew out former Swannie, Dave “Angry” Hadley who now lives back in Australia (Ed’s note, that’s not quite correct; in fact,  we didn’t contribute anything to Dave’s airfare). We used Dave to distract the papparazzi which then allowed the likes of Dukes, Jotta, Dave O, Ado – and Gus – to focus on their preparations.

As well as attending the Swannies’ last Saturday training session befopre the Champs, Angry also hooked up with former Miss Vietnam, Mai Phuong Thuy. Miss Thuy is already known to the Swannies as she actually tossed the coin at the beginning of our match against Cambodia in September 2010 in Saigon.

While walking down the street last week, the papparazzi pounced and took multiple photos of Dave and the glamour. Wow! To see the full suite of photos, check out the article, ‘Trai Tây’ theo Mai Phương Thúy về nhà (“Handsome Westerner meets Mai Phuong Thuy”).

Dave “Angry” Hadley, you are a selfless superstar!
