Former leader of the UDA Glen Barr has died. A big mover back in the 70's!

Like most of his generation he was a product of that time but unlike many in the Loyalist family he grew to see that the working class plight was a key issue across both communities. The total opposite to Gregory Campbell.

I see Gregory paid a glowing tribute to "Glennie" today.A bit like Mc Donald etc,great at reconciliation when they're being fawned over by the likes of Mary Mc Aleese etc,without abandoning their hardline loyalism

The great Jinkin' Joe has passes away RIP. Mayo has lost one of its legends. Joe Corcoran would have been a true great in any era

Bobby Gamble RIP. Bobby was an absolute legend within our club for many decades, Bobby and his wife were the absolute epitome of what it means to be GAA club volunteers, they did everything from wash the kit of entire teams and keeping it all straight to working in the club for functions and  ferrying players back and forth to and from games/practice. Bobby was an absolute gent and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Actor Peadar Lamb (aka Fargo Boyle in Father Ted) died early September. Just seen that in the paper a few days ago.

Patsy Devlin,an Armagh native,but more closely associated with Tyrone,were he spent most of his life.Refereed the 1972 and 1974 All Ireland Senior Football Finals,and,as I recall,the 1973 Corn Na Nog Final in which my late brother was a member of the St Pats Armagh team that lost narrowly to St Colman's Newry.

Paddy lived in Omagh but was always an Armagh man, related to Campbells in Armagh city.  i think he was a member of Omagh St Endas.

That reminded me of simpler times, mind the old paper Irelands Saturday Night which had all the local senior, junior and specifically for us at the time,  underage  soccer results etc..?

And Tony Fearon's favourite - Spot the Ball competition.

Aye and the old Vernons Coupons which you had to complete and bring to the Agents House on a Friday night.

God I remember the excitement of getting a radio for Christmas one year,which would enable me to listen to the live commentary on a game on Radio 2 in those days,every Saturday.Then in 1973 we actually got a colour tv just before the Leeds Sunderland FA Cup Final,and they were rare enough at that time.

Didn't take much to excite us.
