    Frankie McCarthy, an Evergreen United/Cork Celtic stalwart from the late '50s to about 1972 passed away during the week.
    A class player in an era when brawn prevailed, Frank remained an amateur throughout his career. He was capped at university, amateur and inter-league levels.
    A gentleman of football.

    RIP.

    Goalkeeper Marton Fulop. Hungarian international Fulop played in England between 2004 and 2010. He is best remembered for his time with Sunderland but he was also on the books of Tottenham, Ipswich and West Brom and also had loan spells with Manchester City, Stoke, Leicester, Chesterfield and Coventry.
    A statement on MTK's official website read: "We are deeply sorrowful and grieved to announce that after a long illness, Marton Fulop has died.

    Can't help thinking 61 is a decent innings for anyone who has been in a band with Lemmy!

    Jonah Lomu, aged only 40.

    Presumably from kidney failure.

    I can still remember those stunning breakthrough performances at the 1995 WC. RIP.

    Listening to some tributes on Radio 1, and a short snippet of an interview with him. So, so sad.

    Ex-Liverpool footballer, Gerry Byrne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Byrne_(footballer). With a name like that, he probably could have played for us.

    From his wikipedia page -

    Gerry Byrne will always be remembered for playing for Liverpool in the 1965 FA Cup Final, which took place on 1 May at Wembley, with a broken collarbone. He suffered the injury as early as the third minute, but played on throughout the rest of the game and the whole of extra-time as Liverpool won the Cup for the very first time. The break happened after Byrne was challenged heftily by Leeds United's captain Bobby Collins, but, with substitutes still not permitted by the authorities in 1965, he had little choice but to carry on playing. He and his team-mates, not to mention Shankly and his coaching team on the Liverpool bench, somehow managed to keep the extent of Byrne's injury a secret from the Leeds United players and staff.

    Unfortunately for Byrne the game went to extra-time and Gerry, despite the agonising pain, kept making his familiar marauding runs down the left flank in joining the attack. Early on into the first period of extra time, he reached the by-line with the ball and pulled back a perfect cross for Roger Hunt to open the scoring
    Bloody heck!

    Edit - you can see the "tackle" below at about 0:50 -


    In some ways, football was better in the olden days. But it's a good thing that you can't tackle like that any more. Though at least he "earned a reprimand"

    Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland. Ahh, my college years soundtrack. Guy had more lives than the cast of Cats. Guess he ran out.

    Gutted beyond belief. Privilege to finally get to see them live in 2010 in the Olympia. Truly wonderful front man. And that set list was like an STP wet dream.
