Saw him one time in Dublin Airport back in 2001. He was strolling across the concourse with 2 Aer Lingus stewardesses linking either side of him. If you've been in Dublin airport you'll know how crowded it gets. To see the whole crowd part to let him through was brilliant. I recall he was wearing a very stylish tweed suit and a dashing cravat.

RIP Father Jack.

Saw him at THOF in 1970. Fairs Cup semi. Very sad. He smoked like a chimney though, which probably had something to do with it.

Before my time Chippy, but I love watching old legends on YouTube.

He was something else even though, as you say, he smoked like a chimney (as did many greats of the game). A true modern great.
