For sure. He was a great football man but was also a great personality. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him in a bar watching a World Cup match one summer. He was some craic!

I never met the man myself but his post match interviews were worth listening to. They definitely weren't full of the usual standard answers that managers come out with.

Aye I was sad to hear that, I didn't realise he had cancer and that was the reason he stepped away from Galway, I always had great respect for him. I know some of the Harps fans were growing frustrated with him towards the end of his reign at Harps, but afterwards I think most of them realized what he was achieving was amazing considering the little or no support he had.

My condolences to his family, he was a gentleman and unique character.

Replying To rorysboys:  "Hearing the same it's a big commitment when you get no time. Still no decision from paddy mc brearty. Hearing big hugh might be staying on. Mark Curran might feel that he'll not get much game time. Mc fadden ferry I'm Hearing won't be available but it's still only rumours."
I heard Niall O'Donnell, Odhran McFadden Ferry and Stephen McMenamin might be out next season due to commitments, but I usually take these stories with caution, may be no foundation to them.

I heard about the first 2 but not about McMenamin. Niall's is to do with game time I believe. A shame really because I think he's a good player, one of our better subs leaving the panel.
