New York City:
Tony Madigan, after a successful modeling career in London after the 1960 Rome Olympics, moved to New York City and commenced modeling with Howard Zieff, a renowned photographer.
Tony took his rugby skills to NYC and joined the Westchester Rugby Club, selected to play fly-half, both indoors 7-a-side in the winter and outdoors for the 15 a side season (fall and spring). Fly half being not his normal position(break-away or flanker), but with many inexperienced but eager Americans, being an Australian, was requested to play this position. At one time he was known as having basketball hands since he experienced more knock-ons than usually for that position. Due to his defensive skills he was selected by the ERU (Easter Rugby Union) to play against the Quebec Provincial team in Montreal as a break-away.
Tony was married to Ursula, a German, and they had a son, Kendall, who commenced his studies in Sydney.
Tony left USA about 1965, arriving in Sydney. He became a successful businessman working in the mutual fund industry, moving to the Philippines and later to the Carabbean.
