Any bohsmen on here might want to know, the father of our former manager Aaron Callaghan passed away, funeral details on RIP.ie, condolences to the family.
Peter Thomas died yesterday. He was Waterford's goalkeeper from the glory days of the 60's and 70's and reckoned to be one of the best goalkeepers in LOI history and won 2 Ireland caps. He made almost 600 appearances for Waterford ,winning 5 league titles and an FAI Cup.
He appeared for the LOI against the Italian league B team (back in the day such fixtures took place) he swapped shirts with their keeper and thereafter for years used to wear that shirt which was way ‘cooler’ than the standard LOI one….. a wonderful keeper RIPQuote:

Such a civil and at times witty lad. Was always there at the gate or to escort the ref off. Match night won't be the same without himQuote:

Our ex groundsman Anto Maguire recently passed away. He was head groundsman from 03-22. He only recently retired before sadly passing away. He got as good a send off as can be expected with the Pats first team lining the way into the church. He was a well respected member of the Pats community and will be sadly missed RIP.

..and his English compadres of the time (Bryan and Matthews) also died within the past few years. I remember them all well. RIP. The nemesis of Rovers except in the Cup.Quote:

Great Irish football man, RIP
Didnt know that it was Theo that won the FAI Cup for them. The Dunnes are one of the great football families in this country. May he rest in peace.Quote:

Spent a season with Pats in 2009 but only played 2 games due to a couple of serious long term injuries. I had one or two interactions with him and he was a sound lad. 38 is no age to go, RIPQuote:

Could have been indeed Marty. It was hard to keep track of all the comings and goings in those years at the time never mind now.Quote:

Iki pasimatymo Karoliai, he was a solid player, gone far too young.
