    Yeah - one of the good guys. Always struck me as a genuinely likeable, affable chap.

    I don't think its too much of an over-statement to say that his pioneering drumming style is equally, if not more, influential than Bonham.

    I know a Sports Journalist who was hoping to track him down, in his spare time.
    He won't see this as an obstacle.

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Have to say I'm a bit curious as to what happened to Ruben?

    Is there any way those that were privy to his forum demise could let us know? Set up a thread in "Rubbish"?

    RIP to the late darts player Tom Kirby, any of you into the darts who knew him will remember a lovely gentleman who attended tournaments up and down the country. The 61-year-old has been fighting pancreatic cancer, and he passed away on Monday at Blanchardstown Hospital.


    PDC Tournament Director Tommy Cox paid the following tribute:
    I have lost a very dear friend with the sad passing of Tom Kirby.

    Tom and others like him were the cornerstone of the formation of the WDC/PDC in that they were the first to put their heads over the parapet and join the initial 14 players who were looking for a brighter future for darts.

    Tom was very much his own man and there were times when we disagreed but we never lost our mutual respect for each other.

    His Irish humour shone through at all times and he has his place in history as the first winner of a full scale open qualification event under the flag of the fledgling Organisation when he qualified for the Samson Masters in Sunderland.

    He became a fixture in the early Purfleet years and was active until shoulder and back problems saw him drop out of the upper echelon he had graced for so long.

    Ironically Tom left a lasting legacy the last time I spoke to him when he introduced Andrew Spillane to me at the World Grand Prix in Dublin.

    That introduction eventually led to the creation of the Killarney Darts Festival.

    I'll always have a smile on my face when I think of Tom because his face was very rarely without one.

    My condolences to his family and God bless Tom.

    Somehow....saying "Rest in Peace" doesn't seem appropriate!
    Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
