Alan Vega, singer with legendary group Suicide RIP http://variety.com/2016/music/news/a...de-1201816050/
'Springsteen told Mojo magazine that he met the two in the late ’70s and said, “if Elvis came back from the dead, I think he would sound like Alan Vega.”
So it's goodbye to the carpet man. Des Kelly RIP.

Edward Daly, Bishop of Derry, and famous for the iconic photo holding the bloodstained white handkerchief during Bloody Sunday. Interesting (but not surprising) that in the Daily Telegraph's headline to his obituary he is described as "a critic of the IRA".
Rainy Boy Sleep, Stevie Martin, aged 29. Body found on Fanad Head after he went missing three weeks ago. The latest tragedy of this sort to hit Donegal. Was making a name for himself on the music scene, playing Glastonbury twice, and appearing on the Late Late Show back in March.
RIP

I wouldn't say Rasher was a boyhood hero (Frank O'Neill was the man!) but he was in the Rovers' team of the 1960s whom I had the pleasure of seeing win cup after cup. Really skillful and very hard. To coin a classic "he was a lot more deceptive than you might think he was". Didn't he have a fall out with Big Jack over something or other?Quote:

Sam Neill played him in that dire FIFA movie a few years ago. Even in that masturbatory exercise he was portrayed as essentially corrupt.Quote:
