Tuiyo Evei was a Papua New Guinean professional rugby league footballer who represented Papua New Guinea at the 1995 World Cup.
Playing career
Evei first represented Papua New Guinea in 1988 against Great Britain.[1] He went on to play in eleven test matches for Papua New Guinea.
In 1991, Evei received a lifetime ban from rugby league after being held responsible for a riot that occurred after an international match against France. He had been dropped from the team after missing a training session, and following a narrow defeat to the French, Evei's supporters had stormed the field, knocking Kumuls coach Skerry Palanga to the ground and shouting abuse at officials.[2] Evei successfully appealed against the ban after taking the league to court.[3]
In 1993 he was part of the Goroka Lahanis side that defeated the Port Moresby Vipers to win the SP Cup grand final for the first time.[4]
In 1995 he was part of Papua New Guinea's World Cup campaign, playing in one match at the tournament.
He died in 1998 in a car accident.[4][5]
