Christy Dignam - RIP

Had the pleasure to see him live on a few occasions,  unique talent and few matched him for stage presence.  RIP

Legend.

Not enough words to describe his genius.

Cormac McCarthy, a great American novelist.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

One of my favorite living novelists until today.  He got a good run all the same.

Christy Dignam RIP.  I'd the pleasure of working with Christy over the last few years.  What you saw is what he was, just a gentle, no BS, down to earth fella.  He was as honest and straight a character as you'd ever meet, and just a lovely, lovely fella.  Last time I was with him I asked, well Christy how's the form ... his answer 'this cancer has me f***ed', really sad to see him go.

RIP

Gordan McQueen

Good player and came across as gentleman in the bit of punditry he did. Vascular dementia he got I wonder did heading the ball so often play a role in that awful disease.

There seem to have been quite a few ex players from that kind of era have got dementia.

(I suspect it's going to be a massive issue for rugby players in years to come too - look at Steve Thompson the english guy).
