    Anyone who doesn't know about Herb should at least read the Wikipedia article.

    He lived to a good age for one who seemed to live life to the full (Wild Turkey bourbon and cigs), and with a name like Kelleher he can of course trace his forefathers back to Macroom in Co. Cork.

    He settled a major lawsuit with another airline by challenging the opposing ceo to an arm wrestling match (which was accepted) and lost, albeit with a large quantity of whiskey consumed.

    If it weren't for him there'd be no Ryanair.

    RIP Herb.

    We shouldn't really blame him for that...

    There'd be no MOL anyway.
