R.I.P Nudie Hughes

(Oldest Posts First)

Sad to hear that the great Nudie Hughes has died after a long and brave battle with cancer. I remember him well from his playing days, particularly in 1985 when a very talented and exciting Monaghan side swept to the League and Ulster titles and came so close to beating Kerry in a cracking all-Ireland semi-final. Commiserations to his family.

R.I.P Nudie. The best I ever saw in a Monaghan jersey. A warrior on the field and a gentleman off it.

So sad to hear the news of Nudie s death.A truly brilliant footballer and anytime I heard him being interviewed he seemed like a true Gentleman.My second favourite Monaghan player ever after Conor Mc Manus. Rest in peace Nudie.
