Career

Fogerty was born in Oldham, Lancashire. Fogerty's boxing career saw him facing a number of relatively underskilled opponents. He twice faced Paul Lister, with their first meeting in 1989 handing Fogerty his first and only loss in a 6-round decision. He repaid the favor with an 8th round knockout the next year. After ending his boxing career, Fogerty joined the Halifax Blue Sox. He also played for the Warrington Wolves, St Helens and Keighley Cougars. Additionally, Fogerty is the youngest player to play for the Isle of Man rugby team.

Beginning in the early 90's, Fogerty began acting in films. He has played "heavy" roles in several films such as Shooting Fish and Played, as well as an unlicensed boxer, Gorgeous George, in the Guy Ritchie crime caper Snatch. He also had a walk-on part as a thug in the soaps Coronation Street and Hollyoaks

Since December 2007, he has run a Fish and Chip shop in Linthwaite, Huddersfield called "Harry Heywoods" which he co-owns with award winning fryer Ian Kioch.[1]
