Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

I missed this.

Graeme Souness recalled that when, he was appointed manager in 1991, Peter asked him he would ‘do the contracts’ as he had done so at Rangers.

What this meant of course was that Souness was tasked with negotiating player’s wages as well all tasks commonly held by a first team manager.

Souness brought in Dean Saunders on huge wages pissing off the likes of Ian Rush etc.

It most certainly wouldn’t happen these days.

Although I don’t think he’d like to be called significant.

I’m currently listening to his book The Art of Living on audible.

Of course, he’d also contend that he hasn’t died, just transformed.

Great ASMR in listening to him speak

Consciousness never dies mate.

Well it will ‘die’ when the universe ‘dies’.

Tom Kiernan

He must have been as old as Methuselah

I would have had him down as older than that.

Yes - he coached the 1982 TC team

A colossus of Cork Constitution, Munster, Ireland and British Lions rugby. What service he gave to the game as a player, coach and administrator.

RIP Tom

He looked old then.

He did yeah. I suppose being involved with Irish rugby in the 70s would have put years on you.

I suppose every adult looked old to me in those days.

Was there some issue that his nephew Mick the Kick played with Dolphin ???

Michael Kiernans father was Mr Dolphin, not sure how he ended up at a different club to his brother :man_shrugging:

The 70s is spoken about in very fond terms by the alickadoos

Ireland had a good team in the early 1970’s.

The 1960’s was a low enough ebb.

Was the famous “criss cross” try at Twickenham the 1960s equivalent of what Simon Geoghegan’s try there 30 years later was to Irish rugby in the 1990s?
