...and he will follow in the footsteps of these other great 41's:

The 41-gun salute for a State Visit is timed to mark the arrival in London of the foreign Head of State or Commonwealth Prime Minister (the least Foley deserves when he finally goes to London to receive his knighthood)

Captain Cook lost 41 of his crew to scurvy (a lack of vitamin C) on his first voyage to the South Pacific in 1768

41 thieves accompany Ali Baba in A Thousand and One Nights. (excluding Foley, the same number as the Richmond playing list....freaky huh?)

Kent leg spin bowler Tich Freeman conceded 4879 runs in 1929 and 69577 runs in his full career. 41 is the largest prime factor of 4879 and the smallest of 69577

A number 'encoded' in much of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

41 Aqr is a topaz-blue double star in Aquarius (Foley is an Aquarius...fate playing it's hand? ;) )

The Sun's wobble speed is about 41 ft/sec (Weebles wobble at exacly the same speed...the similarities are uncanny)

In 1926 Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-propelled rocket, achieving an altitude of 41 feet (about as fast and as far as Foley has been known to kick...coincidence? I think not!)
