Former Irish international Ron Healey
Not a name I remember to be honest - two caps in 77/80.
I'm sure OwlsFan will remember more!
Only a very very fuzzy memory to my shame because he is a contemporary. You would think that we should remember everyone who played for Ireland, especially in a unique position like goalkeeper. I'd be in my late-teens at the time sticking pictures of Irish players all over the bedroom. I used to get them from Goal magazine. I remember I had ones of John Dempsey, Frank O'Neill, Tony Dunne, John Giles (before he become a pundit ;) ), Terry Conroy etc. They're up in the attic now in a plastic box.
Joe Jackson, patriarch of the Jackson family https://pitchfork.com/news/joe-jacks...ns-dead-at-89/

Former UK politician, Lord Carrington https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/n...-37100663.html Interesting (to me at least) that he served as a tank commander in the Normandy fighting.
That's so weird: I'm reading Anthony Beevor Arnhem, and the last chapter I read last night mentioned him in terms of the fighting over Nijmegen Bridge.

Aretha Franklin gone to the great gig in the sky.
Carole Kings Tapestry is one of my favourite albums of all time. But she wrote the perfect song for someone else. This is truly one of the most powerful songs of all time by one of the biggest voices of all time.
RIP

Who was it dubbed him Instant Kofi because he got to trouble spots so quickly? Private Eye? Phoenix?
The start of the demise of Sheff Wed. Di Canio was not supported by the club (if it was Ferguson he would have stood by his player) and was transferred and the club went downhill to be relegated 2 seasons later never to return to the Premier League.Quote:

Not a word of truth in it, but the lecturer would spend the next ten minutes solidly defending the bould Bunny and we just kicked back and enjoyed the show.
He's retired, and I now have his job. But I tell you, if any smart-alec tries the likes of it with me... I'll probably fall into the same trap!
