I shall raise a glass to him this weekend as the games in the EPL take a minute of silience to honour him, he was a chap full of energy and fun; and certainly the best players to come form the UK.

"I spent most of my money on booze, birds and fast cars and the rest I just squandered".

One of my favorite things ever written about the man:

You can take him out of Belfast and give him loads of loot
But you'll never take away his working class roots.
