My friend reminded me that when Eric Barber played for Rovers his nickname was "the demon king". His greatest night was probably in the fog against Schalke 04 where we could only see abut a third of the pitch from behind the goal and though the gloom to score two came Eric. The most bizarre game I was ever at. Beat Schalke 2-1 but lost the second leg 2 or 3 nil.Quote:

It was all over the place. But I think that something else massive or someone more famous died the same day...Quote:

Jazz singer and clarinettist, Acker Bilk who would be known to a certain generation http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/1102/656432-acker-bilk/
Stranger of a shore would have been his best known rendition.
My buddy and his then future wife actually fell for each other while Bilk was playing Stranger on the Shore at the Cork Jazz Festival quite a few moons ago.Quote:

Haven't been on in a while but reggae legend John Holt passed away a couple of weeks back (Oct 19).
First got to know his work through his brilliant song Ali Baba which was covered on a Dreadzone album in the late nineties, and subsequently found out he also penned, among many others, The Tide Is High, while with the Paragons in the '60s, later to be made more famous by Blondie of course.
RTE broadcaster, Brian Farrell http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/1110/658082-brian-farrell/
Can't believe he was so old. Forever associated with election night for me. RIP Brian.
