Dead at 69. He finally bit the dust. Always thought he was a weirdo, but having said that, provided to great entertainment over the years.

Fella in my class took IKE as his nick-name as he idolised Ike Turner.:eek:
Sure he wasn't just a disciple of Mr.Turquoise, David?Quote:

Phil O'Donnell, Motherwell Captain (breaking news on Sky)

Awful to hear that. Especially as Motherwell doing so well this season. Hope they can win something for him. R.I.P.
He joined Wednesday at the same time as Simon Donnelly but neither alas made much of an impact in an ailing Wednesday side. Shocking news: you just never know what's around the corner. Not sure what Donnelly is currently or whether he's still playing.
Irish actor, Peter Caffrey:

RIP Phil O'Donnell. OwlsFan, were Wednesday in the premier league when/after he joined them? Part of the Celtic (1 in a row!) team that stopped the 10 in a row from Rangers so will never be forgotten
Yes, but with the squad below I knew the writing was on the wall:(Quote:

More of a personal one, seeing as I knew him, but Phillip Hogarty is the first road crash victim of 2008. Chairman of the Irish Chess Union and one of the top players in Ireland. I even beat him back when he was slightly nearer my strength. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
...the Burlington. I also know two guys losing their jobs as a consequence :(
Used to go there a lot in my "Leeson Street" night club days. Sad day for Dublin losing a landmark like that for some characterless apartments.
Only read today that the actor Peter Caffrey died on New Year's Day.
He was brilliant in I Went Down and I remember him making a hilarious appearance in the Father Ted Eurovision episode.
Donnelly was an attacking midfielder/striker. He plays for Partick Thistle now.Quote:

Vaguely knew the man to see on tv. Interesting he served on submarines in WW2. Wouldn't go on a submarine for all the tea in China or on a promise of Premiership football for the Owls.Quote:

Arse. It was bound to happen, he was in drug trouble this last 2/3 years. He did some fantastic films as a child actor, and although he had recently slipped into tv guest spots, he was almost certain to rehabilitate his career with his part in Bret Easton Ellis' "The Informers" , currently shooting with Billy Bob Thornton & Mickey Rourke.Quote:

Brad reminds me a lot of River Phoenix...
Correct me if I'm wrong here but wasn't he only in prison for 10 days? Missing 10 days was hardly gonna keep him out of acting.Quote:

Between 2001 and 2006 he only starred in 11 productions...Nothing listed for 2007...
How and ever, good actor gone too soon. RIP
Ernie Holmes, a member of the famous 'Steel Curtain' defensive line and winner of two super bowls.
Bobby Fischer, former World Chess Champion.
Poor aul Bobby. Chess genius and all round...em...interesting character. Once locked himself in a room and refused to play a World championship game because the cameras were making too much noise. I think it was him who accused a Soviet opponent of colluding with coaches by picking up radio signals in his teeth during a game? Had a warrant put out for his arrest by playing a re-match of the 72 World Championship in Yugoslavia just to spite the US (he still won, despite not having played in almost 20 years).
The world's a duller place this evening.
Never heard of him but sounds like he was a real character alrite. not something you'd often associate with chess playersQuote:
