He will be sorely missed for his huge personality. Harry was great craic and a smashing man
Perhaps it might be more appropriate to amend the thread title to something less impersonal
I didn’t mean any offence with that , when I saw he was missing I though it best to put up the article. If a mod can change it to RIP Harry Taaffe it would be for the best.Quote:

We mentioned it to Harry as he was entering the ground and he went and got the tickets for us. As part of the backroom team I'm sure he had enough to do already without us adding to things to do. His helping us was always very much appreciated! RiP Harry.
I know you meant no offence - it was entirely appropriate to not name anyone at the point you posted.Quote:

Very sad news I didnt know the chap at all as I havent being in Oriel in a good while but Im sure that me and my comrades at Longford Town FC would like to send our condolescences to the family and friends of Harry. May he rest in peace.
Condolences to Harry’s family and friends
Hard to believe H is gone.
He was a friend since childhood.Witty,disarming,genuine,true friend,salt of the earth - just everything about Harry was good.He will be sorely missed around Oriel,O'Hanlon Park and in the wider Dundalk,Republican and LOI communities.
Rest in Peace a chara.
