Neil Fingleton: A look back at the beginning of his ascent
Posted Mar 2, 2017
From the time Neil Fingleton set foot in the United States 17 years ago, he was always the center of attention, due to his height — 7 feet, 6 inches. The former Holy Name standout passed away this weekend in his native England at the age of 36 from heart failure. Fingleton played his college ball at North Carolina and Holy Cross.
