I remember meeting Padraig at nearly all home games in the late 90's early 2000's. He flew over so often. Always went to the Adelphi to meet up with the rest of the "Usual Suspects" and then eventually to the Brittania. He always loved a pint and enjoyed the banter. He will sadly be missed.

He appeared on the list with a bang in late-94/early-95 - would need to check but am fairly sure. He was a beacon of light hereabouts for many years after that. He first got cancer about 7 years ago, got a clean bill of health, and went on his merry way for another 5.5 years. It came back into his life 18 months ago but was well for a year after that again. It got aggressive in the last 6 months and the prognosis was not good; so much so that the end came, as his sister says below, very quickly! May the man rest easy now, though he was very sanguine about it when I spoke to him about five weeks ago and through a chain of e-mail I received from him right up to a few days ago. Our win at Donny will have sent him on his way a little happier than a draw or defeat would have :-).
