Peter McDermott. "The man in the cap". RIP



The word "legend" is overused but it's too small a word to describe Peter's status. He was one of the architects of the modern GAA and nobody has ever contributed more to Meath football.

Aye just seen it on the news earlier. Carnage. Crazy that so many cars are allowed to race wheel to wheel at 220mph.

Got this off Wiki so just wondering can any one confirm that it is true.

Peter McDermott had the unusual distinction of participation in five All-Ireland final matches in the four years between 1951 and 1954. He played in the 1951, 52 (draw and replay) and 54 finals and refereed the 1953 final. He is also the only man to referee an All-Ireland final both before and after winning one.

Wyatt Knight, 56, an actor best known for portraying Tommy Turner in the three "Porky's" films, committed suicide Oct. 25 in Maui, said Eileen O'Farrell, a family spokeswoman.

An autopsy determined that Knight died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Associated Press reported.

In 2003, Knight underwent a bone-marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the resulting radiation therapy left him in physical and emotional pain, according to a statement from the family.

"He was tired of the pain and after much contemplation, chose to end his life in a beautiful and a serene place," the statement said. "His family and friends are devastated."

Knight was relatively new to acting in 1981 when he appeared in "Porky's," a raunchy low-budget comedy about a group of lusty, fun-loving high school boys. He reprised the part in both sequels, "Porky's II: The Next Day" (1983) and "Porky's Revenge" (1985).

He went on to appear mainly on television, often in small roles. His made-for-TV movies include "Promised a Miracle" (1988), "Those She Left Behind" (1989) and "Maniac Magee" (2003).

The actor was born Jan. 20, 1955, according to public records. He lived in Los Angeles but had been staying in Kula, Hawaii, for several months.

He is survived by his wife, Silvina, and two children from a previous marriage.
