I don't know why. Don't know why he did what he did either. Seemed normal the last time I saw him. I guess you really never know what goes on inside someone's head.

He was buried in America because it costs a small fortune to ship a corpse in a coffin back home. One of my Women's soccer team's former players had to go to Spain to send her late father home in a coffin and I believe it was very expensive €10,000 plus I believe is the going rate these days.

imagine if you died abroad and were cremated and someone sent your ashes back home by post-and some GAA or rugby ****er in the post office scattered your remains in Croke Park or Landsdowne just for the laugh like....
after replacing your ashes with cheap imported fag butts so as not to upset the relatives like...
The horror the horror as Brando muttered at the end of Apocylapse Now....
Just a thought...


I can think of worse places to have me ashes scattered then Lansdowne Road....Wouldn't like croke park with all those GAA heads running on top of ye.....Interesting fact is that it costs the GAA a ton of money to remove weeds from the grass at Croker..........more often than not the seeds are carried by the the feet of those that go onto the pitch to celebrate a result. ''Country types mostly''

Very sad about that guy...The head is funny and very dangerous thing...It can just go pop!
