Sean Prunty

[Runner Man]

Anybody see the piece on MNS about Prunty? Town legend!! It's sad to see it end like that and how he mighn't get the compo. Thought it was decent though, good to see he's not down over the whole thing.

Yeah absolute legend for us over the years & greatly respected in Longford. Hopefully he can get involved with LTFC in a coaching capacity. We shall see.

[Keen2win]

He came accross real well. Poor him, hes probably lucky though.

We all dream of a team of Sean Pruntys

Talk of a benefit game between Longford and Drogs for Sean.
Thought Flancare dressing rooms could do with a lick of paint :D

Heartbreaking for Sean. One of the game's true gentlemen. Hope the two clubs can do something for him. The video is available here. (http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/mns/features/droghedauniteday.html)

Dont know the first thing about the medical checks and what they look for but credit to Drogs medical staff for spotting it as well. It was something that probably was over looked a few years back (from what i gather anyway)

SADS (http://www.sads.org.uk/) as far as I know is something which is very hard to detect and Sean has been very lucky to have been diagnosed. It can only be detected in life and not in a post mortem etc.
He has a second chance at life, where others have not been so lucky
