I have to say I am in utter shock just sitting here reading this thread.While I only met wws the once like many other posters I read his comments with interest through the years right back to JW's old site.As someone else says its news like this that puts everything else into perspective!

He is a huge loss to his family, St. Pats and the EL as a whole.He will be sorely missed by all who ever had the pleasure to meet him.

To his family and friends may I offer my heart felt condolences.

RIP wws - A true EL man!

Truly devastated when I got the news and still can't really come to terms with it. Peter was a good friend through football, music and beer and I'll never forget his unique humour.

I'm gonna miss you Pat's bloke, rest in peace.

Still cannot believe I am typing this. Can only echo what's already been said. The strength of his family throughout this, and especially his brother (who is known to read these pages occasionally), has been nothing short of miraculous.

I knew Peter by talking to him on this forum and i met him a few times up in dublin at games, we used to PM each other regularly, a great LOI supporter, i am stunned by this news, i knew he was in hospital but didnt think it was that serious.
Your at peace now Peter and with God, RIP my friend !

I dont think ive ever met WWS but I have read his posts over the years ..Very sad news indeed...May He R.I.P

**Aaron** · 03/04/2007, 5:51 PM

R.I.P

My condolences to his family

**James** · 03/04/2007, 6:30 PM

I met the guy a few times, in Mcdowells and I think at the old EL groupings at the ireland matches but like most knew him from the banter on the various EL messageboards whether it be JW's old eircomleague.net or the v v v old Redboys messageboard.. where'd he love nothing more then wading into a mass of cork city fans.. and wind us up no end.. but always with great wit and intelligence..you could almost see the smile

at the other end as he was typing his commentary.. thats what I will remember about wws

Had heard he was sick but this news is shocking indeed for someone so young.

RIP Peter.

Cant believe this to be honest. I only knew him through here, but like everyone else here i'd imagine we all saw him a really decent bloke, great for a bit of banter and he always livened the place up. It definitely puts things into perspective alright. Thoughts are with his family now. May he rest in peace.

**Magicme** · 03/04/2007, 6:48 PM

Been out of the loop for a week now and the first message I see on my return is this and have to say I am deeply shocked.

You will be greatly missed WWS. RIP

I am totally and utterly stunned. Like many, I also got to know Peter from JW's old message board and met him before Harps games in McDowells when we played Pats. One of life's good guys and was what the League of Ireland should be all about.

Very, very sad news.

Rest in Peace World Wide Saint.

From reading his posts in the Pats forum from less than 2 weeks ago its shocking to think that he was taken away so quickly. He seemed to be looking forward to St Pats lifting the Setanta Cup. It would be nice to see a minute's silence at the next home match for St Pats seen that he was obcessed with Pats. Maybe somebody here could mention it to the Pats board?

**skitz3** · 03/04/2007, 9:35 PM

I don't think they need to be told in fairness and i'd say there'll be a minutes silence at most grounds in the country over the weekend.
