    Genuinely one of Ireland's best players of all time.

    The David Walsh article a couple of year's ago about his battle with Alzheimer's was heartbreaking.

    RIP Fergus

    Very, very sad to hear of the death of legend of Ireland and the Lions. The final whistle has sounded for Fergus Slattery. A wonderful player who lit up Irish rugby.

    Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Saw him play a few of those 1982 triple crown matches. Incredible player.
