I hung out at a bar in Belfast a couple of times where he was a regular. Never saw him, but a couple of people there mentioned his habitual alcaholic excesses. I think he was basically broke most of the time. |

I freely admit I'd never heard of him till now.
But he seems to have been a stand-up guy...assaulting referees, threatening the lives of other players....
