Did you know?: Known for his robust views on those people from Leinster who support other provinces, Hickie is lauded by fans for being a true Leinster legend. Disco tells it as it is: "I've always been a Leinster player. My dad played for Leinster, my uncle played for Leinster, my cousin played for Leinster. I'm a Leinster guy. I don't make any apologies for it. That's my team." This quote has been immortalised by the Leinster fans [www.leinsterfans.com] as one of a series of "Leinster Legend" T-shirts under the title of Disco Den.
