Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

Ah no. He got an award from the GPA recent enough, I didn’t know he was ill at the time, he was honoured alongside Sue Ramsbottomin 2024

My first time seeing Nudie play in person was against Laois in 86 in the League Final. Monaghan were going for back to back, Laois were coming all the way from what was Division 4 back then. My Dad and his brothers spoke of Nudie in hushed tones, and whether Browne or Aherne be able for him. I expected to see a giant when the day came but there he was, in all his Nudie’ness. And then the first kick out came and he soared, and landed and danced. He was a right butty fella but he was a lovely footballer.

God rest him

There’s a grand wee Laochra Gael (S6 E6) about him on YouTube.

There’s a great spread of heartfelt condolences from friends, colleagues, team mates and plenty of opponents on the RIP. He appears to have been universally popular. RIP.
