Rovers great Ronnie Nolan, RIP
John Delaney Snr. Obviously a divisive character but still a former FAI officer so RiP. The brevity of tributes is probably more a legacy of Junior tbh.
Ah that's sad. Was UCD manager for much of the 70s too; think he was at the club dinner only last year (along with Kevin, his namesake)Quote:

Just because your old and been around the game for a long time doesnt mean you arent a ****** when you die.
Like Father like son
Joe/John same difference! Harsh lads! Fair but harsh!
The Beast from the East - RIP kaz
I hear former bohs and I think Derry winger Stephen Mallon lost his brother at a very young age recently, sympathies to him
Bobby Best , club photographer at shamrock rovers, by all accounts a gent, RIP
Condolences to Rovers and his family of course. It’s all sad to see these club stalwarts pass on.
I knew Bobby really well about 30 years ago, before I moved from Dublin. He was partially responsible(with several others) for keeping hundreds if not thousands of kids off the streets of Kilmore West and the Coolock area through football. He was the backbone of Kilmore Boys, working tirelessly and without any real recognition for as long as I can remember. He would be on the Oscar Traynor road almost every Saturday and Sunday supporting the underage and senior teams. Although we were a club that had nothing, with Bobby on board we had everything and everyone still talks about the great times and memories we had.Quote:

Yeah, seemed like a great person and like he lived a great life. Loved the stories of him handing out the print outs to the kids at the matches in the 90s. RIP.
Yeah heard of Bobby Best years ago when I buy the Shamrock Rovers programmes whenever I was up there in Dublin. Sounded like a hardworking gentleman may he rest in peace. What age was he?
Joe Carr, mr “half time raffle” at dalymount, Joe was the first one you’d bump into after coming into the ground, supporter and volunteer for 70 yrs.
A real bohs man and a gent, RIP
Very sorry to hear this. Would know Joe Carr from the Irish football program club which Im a member of! May he rest in peace.Quote:

I believe he had been ill for a long period of time but his passing will be mourned greatly on leeside.
Would there be mention of his passing at the cup final today?
There was a piece about him in Cup Final program today.Quote:

He was one of the better ones I think. Did an initiative to improve atmosphere at Ireland games by getting LOI fans into games together. He actually got fans which is not always the case. RIP Fran.
Had actually forgotten about this. Was at those Ireland games in Lansdowne Rd in LOI section!
Not sure if he posted on here but I’ve just heard the terrible news that The Clones Road Casual from Johnny Ward’s old messageboard, Joe Heron, passed away yesterday.
I think he was involved with Monaghan United’s matchday programme back in the day too.
May he rest in peace.
Tommie Gorman, ex RTE journalist, passed away aged 68. Tommie was a Sligo Rovers fanatic.
Very sad news.
RIP.
Yeah heard it at work. Very sad news. Very young age.Quote:

Thanks, Nesta. I'm not too far from Newlands Cross as it happens and I'll be going along on Saturday.
Yeah I heard of him too but didnt know him personally. JW did a great tribute to him on LOI Central and also referred to Ruairi Heustons piece on RTE site on the late great Tommy Gorman. May JH rest in peace.
Very sad news of the death of Wexford's former player, Joseph Barry Wallace, son of Mick, at the age of only thirty. Rest in peace, Joseph.
Very sad to hear this.When did he play for ye Forza as I never heard of him before?Quote:

According to my records Joe Wallace did make a substitute appearance for the Wexford Youths first team aged 17 in a First Division 3-0 defeat against Shels at Tolka Park on 3rd September 2011
