Played one game for the Junkies apparently. Leicester let him go instead of a younger Peter Shilton, joined Stoke at 28, both quality goalkeepers alright. ------------- Ulster Champions 2020 our 40th Title. Take that all ye Moanaghan ***ts! |

Why did he not play for bigger clubs, when he was so good? I suppose the game was different in those days. He played for St Pats, just once,in 1977.

I was at Richmond Park for his only game for Pats against Rovers. He made an fantastic save from a stinging volley from of all people, Eamon Dunphy. My other memory of the match being perched on the wall in front of the old stand and letting a full packet of Toffo fall on to the pitch. I asked a steward to hand tem up to me. The thieving junkie bastard put my sweets in the pocket of his coat and walked off. I hate those ****s ever since. And no, I wont let it go. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

| Been away for a while and only just looking at the YBIG forums now for the first time in days. A bit late to be asking this, but was it ever established who poisoned Banks just before the 1970 World Cup quarter final? He was having the same food and drink as everyone else in the squad, but Banks was the only one to be struck down with food poisoning |

| I always thought it was a better approach. Never understood what the rush was with us. Family having to deal with death and arranging a function within 24 hours, relatives having to book last minute flights to get home for funerals, colleges taking time off work at a days notice. The 2 weeks thing seems a lot more civilized. |

very much open to correction on this but I think that gravediggers in the U.K. are basically all council employees and it takes about two weeks to get a grave dug. Here, it’s a church graveyard so it takes no time as there’s usually a lad will do it quick enough. Certainly, there, more people are buried in municipal cemeteries than are buried in them here. -------------

Imagine having an Irish wake for two weeks? There’d be a backlog of funerals. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

But in any case, your general point is correct, since crematoria are also council operated. Meanwhile, I wonder if another difference is that in Ireland, the remains more often go back to the house (for a wake etc), where they can only rest for a couple of days (for obvious reasons). Whereas in GB, it may be there are more Funeral Homes where the remains can be kept for up to a couple of weeks.
