Legend. RIP
5 day wake 
Jack was as cute as fuck too. On his various fishing trips around Ireland he’d always pay for his meals with a cheque knowing full well the pub or restaurant would frame it and put it on a wall rather than cash it. He ate for free around Ireland for the guts of about 30 years, and rightly so too

A notorious prick.
There’s a brilliant moment when Jack presented bobby with some lifetime achievement award at the BBC spoty show a couple of years ago. Can’t find it on YouTube. Jack says something real short and sweet like ‘the best player I’ve ever seen, my brother’ with a catch in his throat. Especially poignant as you know the two of them had fallen out.
A lad from Ashington who’s father was a coal miner supporting Thatcher is all you need to know about Bobby

I saw one beyond in Portmagee years ago.
The story went that Paidi had one and the tight fucker cashed it
RIP Jack, a legend.
Big Jack RIP
To quote Buff Egan “he was Iconic”
Gas looking back to think that Jack was only in his early to mid 50s when over Ireland looked a good bit older. He had the presence of a real distinguished man.
