My Foos Biography!

Seems you can't pick up a paper these days without reading about some event or incident involving Bill Nolan.  Indeed, bright lights and accolades are no strangers to this flamboyant personality from New Jersey, but it wasn't always that way.  Back in early 1999 Bill suffered the sudden loss of his spleen and two fingernails in a tragic glass-blowing accident, and his foosball career was cast into doubt.  But after years of rehab, proper diet, and chronic hand washing, he has returned to the scene with a vengeance - recently racking up a series of non-last place finishes in the local no-pro tournament, and winning a couple games at his house.

We caught up to Bill outside the local bail bondsman's office recently to ask him a few questions…

    Herb:  Hey, Bill, good to see you back in action!

    Bill:  Who are you?

    Herb:  It must have been hard to not be able to touch a table for all those years, due to the importance of the spleen in the game of foosball.

    Bill:  Yeah, it was a bad period.  You take it for granted, really.

    Herb:  So how did you pay the bills in your down time?

    Bill:  Well, it wasn't easy.  I held a few odd jobs in that time, mostly things that no one else wants:  balloon artist, temperature taker at the zoo… I was even growing raspberries with some dude from Louisiana for awhile.  I finally found ways to make ends meet, but most of them involved late nights and a lot of hitchhiking.

    Herb:  Did you ever give up on your dreams of being a world champion?

    Bill:  That's something that never leaves you; you are born with it, I think, and no amount of limb or organ loss can change that.

    Herb:  How did you end up coming back against such incredible odds?

    Bill:  You find ways to adapt.  For me, I directed that energy into a new love - those toy crane machines.  Before long I was a top pro on the "Captain Claw's Treasure Chest" tour, and just missed the world title in 2004 when I nearly got that damned purple elephant and then ran out of quarters.  But that was the moment when I realized that I still had it.  I was back.

    Herb:  That's a great story.  Thanks for talking to us.  Before we go, what is the one thing you want to tell your fans out there?

    Bill:  Well, my lawyer came down pretty hard on me the last time I answered that question.
