- Jack Gillogly has followed Eels from the day he was born
- This week opted for Dylan Brown’s signature as a thigh tattoo
- Gillogly, 24, even has a podcast talking all things footy
Footy fans aren’t shy when it comes to their heroes – and then you have Parramatta tragic Jack Gillogly, who now has a permanent reminder of star five-eighth Dylan Brown on his body.
Gillogly, 24, has followed the Eels since he was born, and his passion for the blue and gold this week reached a new level.
The budding entrepreneur visited a tattoo parlour on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland– and his choice of ink on his thigh was unique to say the least.
‘I got Dylan’s signature at Magic Round this year [in Brisbane] so this has been seven months in the making,’ he told Daily Mail Australia on Saturday.
‘One of my favourite sayings when watching Parra – and Dylan – is ‘go yourself Dylbags’ when he has the ball in hand.
‘So it made sense to get that as a tattoo [on my thigh] once I was able to get his signature…I just had to get it done.’

It also featured the accompanying message: ‘Yes Jack mate.’
Gillogly went onto state he had ‘no choice’ but to follow the Eels as a youngster.
‘My dad had me in some Eels gear about 10 minutes after I was born,’ he said.
‘I was at the 2001 Grand Final against the Knights, but don’t remember it [thankfully].
‘I watched the 2009 and 2022 deciders at home… both were tough games.
‘Next year I think we will go OK…..I will miss Gutho [departed fullback Clint Gutherson] but any team with Dylan and Mitch [Moses] should be competitive.
‘Jason Ryles as our new coach is also exciting…. it could be the start of something great.’
Parramatta start their 2025 NRL campaign with a tough away trip to face the Melbourne Storm on March 9.
