    @Stockcar86 that is sad news - what a awesome dad and human being. Loved his The Talisman series with Stephen King. Sad that they didn't get to the third novel. Going to check out his back catalogue, I'm sure I missed a bunch of his books.

    That's way too young to die. Sad loss.

    Not an outstanding commentator in the mould of Bill McLaren or Andrew Cotter but much, much better than most and I always found him very fair and unbiased. Wrote some excellent stuff for the newspapers as well.

    Aviva Stadium, Dublin, 24 November 2013. Richie McCaw's All Blacks looked like they'd fall at the final hurdle in their quest for the perfect season.

    "One Minute to go......." Rest In Peace, Eddie.

    My abiding memory and uplifting memory of that game (apart from the result) was watching Clive Woodwhinge's face on TV after the game. Looked like he'd been eating lemons laced with wasps.

    I'm not surprosed. I've been at a sports lunch with Brian Moore and he's a really emotional, heart-on-his-sleeve type. Good bloke too.

    Liked his writing, disliked his commentary. Not really a fan but agree, too young and horrid for his family.

    Sad to hear.

    This tune always filled the D floor back in the day, me and other wiggers trying to be “Gangsta”. Clever dude.

    RIP.
