Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Not completely the last service member, I think there is some Brit still alive who was in the Womans RAF. Horrible to think that entire generation is pretty much gone now
He was the last combat veteran of WW1. Another Briton, Florence Green - who turned 110 in February and was a waitress in the Women's Royal Air Force - is now thought to be the world's last known surviving service member of WWI. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13289607 Sends a shiver up the spine alright.Originally Posted by horton

Never met the man personally, but in my youth I heroically failed for four years in a row to win the Harry Thuillier Cup for Best Men's Foilist in DU Fencing Club! He was held in awe by every fencer I met, and many I knew who had fenced with him - even Olympians - spoke of him with admiration and near-reverence.Harry Thuillier (probably not known to many of you):

Seve Ballesteros
Really knocked by the news this morn. A true genius, and a very sad passing at only 54.
Transcended his own discipline to become, like Ali, Best or McEnroe, one of the legends of sport. RIP Seve.

Bad time for sports. The great Lionel Rose, World Champ and Australian Man of the Year at 20 and finished by 22 (I cannot remember who said it but it was quoted in his biopic) and the first Aboriginal to be both. Unlike many boxers of his and other generations he looked after himself and earned well. I had the honour to meet him many, many years ago at a show in Manchester and was surprised by how humble he was.

RTE Sports Commentator and Shamrock Rovers fan, Philip Greene. I remember him once crying out on commentary after Rovers had found the back of the net: "We've scored".

Garret Fitzgerald.

I always liked Garret possibly because he was always so different from the Fianna Fail hardened politicians. Garret was an intellectual, not really a politician, and that was his downfall. RIP.

I remember immediately after the cheering subsided after Dundalk scored a goal against Shamrock Rovers, hundreds of Dundalk supporters chanting in unison, 'Phil Greene - ha ha ha'.
