RIP The Blue Panther, another great person taken well before their time. I think this tribute by Roy Curtis is an absolutely fitting endorsement of the great man, and would bring tears to your eyes [url=]https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/and-a-single-tear-rolled-down-that-lovely-generous-face-roy-curtis-remembers-his-great-friend-anton-otoole-38121592.html

A sad day for all Dublin GAA, thoughts are with his family and those closest.

I didnt know him but always described as a gentleman by those that did.

Will always be remembered, revered and honored when and wherever Blue is worn.

R.I.P.
