hope he pulls through......the prick. a great hurling man. Hurling Legend Ger Loughnane battling Leukaemia The 57-year-old was diagnosed a fortnight ago and is currently undergoing intensive treatment at St Jamesâs Hospital in Dublin. He is married with two sons, Barry and Conor, both keen hurlers. The school principal from St Aidanâs National School in Shannon Co Clare is a regular panelist on The Sunday Game, however he will be absent from next Sundayâs Leinster hurling final between Kilkenny and Dublin. Loughnane made his name as a player in the 1970âs and 1980âs, winning two All Star awards playing for Clare. In 1995 he led Clare to their first All Ireland hurling title in 81 years in his first year as manager. Two years later Clare won the All Ireland title again. Since stepping down from management at Clare, he managed the Galway hurlers for two seasons, but left management to concentrate on his work with RTE during the summer and with the Daily Star newspaper, where he is a columnist. http://www.independent.ie/national-n...a-2806727.html
Sadly hearing that Ger passed away a short time ago. nothing more to say other than it is a sad day for the association.
What is it with people making up hooax deaths. A mod on the Stoke City board (sgtPottermouth or something) had his account hacked and the person posted up saying he had got permission to use the account as the fella had been taken ill and was in hospital, then posted up the next day that he had died. A sick mind to derive humour from such things
after being told, I checked with the source to confirm. He told me it was 100% legit. It isn't like me to jump in to stuff like that, so I guess I have learned my lesson. Ger Loughnane causing me grief, even from his sick bed!
