A strolling maestro. He could have played with a fag in his mouth and it would have all been the one.

One of those players that when you watch older games just looked so stylish. Classy.

Was he the original sweeper?
JPR had an incredible record as a player of playing on 11 Wales teams against England between his debut season in 1969 and his retirement in 1981 and winning all 11. He missed the 1974 and 1980 games against England injured and England won both.

Fortycoats RIP.
Be me fortycoats and fifty pockets, I’d have sworn he was dead years ago.
I think you might be referring to SoFarSoGood actor Conal Kearney?
Theres one for the things I learned today
Conal’s RIP.ie notice reads: “Formerly of Dublin. Grandson of Peadar Kearney, author of Amhrán na bhFiann. Peacefully, at University Hospital Galway, with his loving family by his side, after a bravely fought battle. Will be sadly missed by his sisters Eva and Bríd, brothers Pearse and Peadar, sisters-in-law Eileen and Jean, brother-in-law Martin, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and his circle of special friends.”
