Former Bray Wanderers (http://www.braywanderers.ie/content/view/597/) playing stalwart - and latterly a stalwart fan - Jim Tobin has died.
Jim was a familiar figure to generations of current young fans in the Carlisle Grounds, but few of the present support will have seen him in his heyday as a player, in the 1940s.
He collected much historical detail about Bray Wanderers, which he published privately in a pamhplet some years ago.
That account is the core of the standard history of the club, as seen on the web here and on braywanderers.com, as well as on Wikipedia.
================================================== ========
A true Bray town and Wanderers legend, RIP Jim and deepest sympathy's to his family and friends.
