Daily News | “Philly Ray” is the biggest Eagles fan in Arizona
SCOTTSDALE, AZ. - There’s never been a better time to be a guy named “Philly Ray” in the greater Phoenix area.
All week long--it actually started last week, he says--locals, tourists, reporters, and longtime buddies have been coming to the Rockbar on Craftsman Court in this golfing town to shake Ray Poserina’s hand or give him a fist bump with a “Go Birds.” The Northeast Philly native, a metalhead with long hair and a horseshoe mustache, is stoked.
“You kidding me? I’m like a kid in a candy store this week,” Poserina, 57, said Monday afternoon after finishing up a television interview at the bar. “The Birds are in the Super Bowl and they’re here.” Poserina, a lifelong fan, grew up on Canterbury Road in the Morrell Park section of Northeast Philly and went to Archbishop Ryan. Anytime he started to go into detail about his life, though, another Eagles fan approached.
“It is the greatest week of Ray’s life,” said Sharlyn Kanney a former Doylestown resident. “And it’s great for us too, because we get to watch him experience that.”An hour earlier, Poserina had posted photos of the new shirts he had made for Eagles West, the fan club he helped start in 2014, and local fans were popping into the bar to buy them.
