Born Bicester. Forward. Spotted by Oxford manager Gerry Summers while playing for Bardwell Boys in the Bicester Boys League cup final at the age of 14. He was selected to play four times for the Republic of Ireland youth team, and under-21 team. He was selected to play for the full side in a friendly at Malta, but United needed him for a vital league game and so he had to withdraw from the squad. West Brom manager Ron Atkinson offered United £100,000 for Foley, but United turned it down. He played and managed Witney Town, and then moved on to Brackley Town and thence Marlow, whom he managed when they beat Oxford United 2-0 in the FA Cup first round in 1994. He followed this with spells as manager of Oxford City, Thame United, Didcot Town, and, most recently, Ardley. 4 Ireland Under-18 caps; 6 Ireland Under-21 caps.
