I'm surprised this wasn't posted earlier. The late great Jim Stynes passed away one year ago today. My god that has flown by. RIP big man.

I was in Oz for it, it was amazing the send off he got out there, every news paper and tv station had it, he did ireland proud.

One of the best books I have read in a long time. One quote he took from Seamus Heeney "even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, Hope has to be maintained" what a man he never gave up.

Hard to believe it's a year.
What he achieved on the field in Oz was unreal and not because he was the 'irish experiment'.
He's record of 244 consecutive games will hardly be bettered.
RIP
