Poor auld @Faldo,I feel so sorry for his family he’ll be a huge loss to them no doubt.

Wow.

If ever there was a case of a face behind the name.

RIP to Frank.

Thanks for sharing.

Bugsy_Malone · February 13, 2022, 5:42pm

Nothing I can add. Hopefully his family and friends can find the strength to get through.

It’s a little unnerving, but beautiful in a way to put a face to a lad who came across as an absolute gentleman here.

Rest well @Faldo.

Jesus those feet, class. Love the way he walks back nonchalantly after absolutely smashing it. Thanks for sharing @Lazarus

What a player! Some feet and what a strike

Mac · February 13, 2022, 7:25pm

Its like his posting style. He didn’t really give a shit. Everyone respected it. And he never made any airs or graces about it

BruidheanChaorthainn · February 13, 2022, 7:27pm

He must have been a seriously handy golfer ? He was judge of it anyway.

Jimmy_Mc_Nulty · February 13, 2022, 8:32pm

Ah Jesus Christ lads, I’m not right after hearing this. Fair play @Ironmoth and @Lazarus - lovely tributes from both of you.

Rest in Peace @Faldo, my fellow Galwegian and Evertonian and Rest in Peace @fistoffury, two good men gone too soon. My sincere sympathies to their families and friends.

Good to hear from you Jimmy, even if it’s under desperate circumstances.

Jimmy_Mc_Nulty · February 13, 2022, 8:39pm

Thanks Harry, awful circumstances. Lovely watching those clips above, he’d have given his Idol Kevin Sheedy a run for his money with some of those free kicks.

Thomas_Brady · February 13, 2022, 8:43pm

Alright Jim pal. Hope all is good.

Jimmy_Mc_Nulty · February 13, 2022, 8:46pm

All good CM, hope all well with you pal.

Glentaisie · February 13, 2022, 10:35pm

Some lovely comments by Faldo’s friends on here. What a very sad time for his young family but by the comments on here they will have memories of a very, very special man. RIP.

Spidey · February 13, 2022, 10:48pm

That’s quality @Lazarus thanks for sharing

BeTimberin · February 13, 2022, 10:59pm

Awh ffs. Thats horrific. Fuck it

Chucks_Nwoko · February 13, 2022, 11:16pm

Thanks for that @Lazarus . Pure welly from the man, no messing around. I don’t think there would be many of us as humble if we scored one of those. Great memories to have.

balloobasluvsbeer · February 13, 2022, 11:17pm

Only reading about this now, tears are flowing after watching the videos. Didn’t know the man myself condolences to all on here that were lucky enough to, and of course his family. Rest In Peace

I was very sorry to hear about @Faldo passing.

Heartbreaking for those who knew and loved Frank. They have a tough road ahead of them. For us who “knew” Faldo, life will carry on regardless.

Life is short lads. Frank’s was shorter than it should be. Put the phones down and get out and live life.

You hardly want your obituary to be “he was a sound lad on TFK” (No offence @Rocko).

Rest in peace Frank.

Superb clips. Lovely, languid style and a real touch of flair.
