merckx Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Very sad indeed, even when it was expected it's so horrible to hear the news. He didn't look very well when he was at the charity match on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 RIP from Irish footie fans too. Might be wrong but I think assistant to Steve Staunton managing the Irish squad was his last job in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes he was a proper gent. His death has finally motivated me to set up a direct debit to a cancer charity, something I should have done ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
