I saw a documentary on him previously.
His Irish links are far enough out I think - grandparent from Fermanagh if memory serves me correctly.
I remember him well.
Good playerā¦

RIP
Hugh Russell
Joe paid a lovely tribute to him on the pod this week.
Dessie did a piece about him on Sunday Sport last week.
Iād say that was a slobberfest.
They squeezed it in before the Angelus
Everything with Dessie is a squeeze.
Think thatās where I heard it.

Weāve had fair city actors in the main thread. Fair to say one of the greatest soccer players of all time should be in there too !

Jimmy carters wife. Rosalyn. 96.
God bless her, an early champion of improved mental health services in the US. A real contrast from āBe Bestā Knauss. I spent 3 months in Washington D.C. on a J1 in the 9/11 aftermath working for Habitat For Humanity, which her husband did a lot of good work for and had a long history with.

Jimmy will follow her soon Iād say, as often is the way. A fine couple.
Jimmy turned 99 last month. Donāt think heāll see the 100. It was reported a few months ago that he has gone into a hospice care.
Holding on for her.
