Teddy Mac RIP

[BossHogg]

I know this was explained to me before but can't for the life of me remember. What's Teddy's Passage West connection, whereby Cian and Niall's "home" club was always Passage and they played the football with them rather than Glanmire? (now obv hurling too)

 

[SoundMan]

Slightly incorrect. Sars/Glanmire was their home club until they were in their early teens.

The family moved to Passage and the lads went down to play both codes. They returned to Sars as late teens but stayed playing football with Passage. They then went back to hurl with Passage, with Cian stopping in Douglas on the way.

Was Teddy's missus originally from Passage?

That man could fly



Ted the head is dead

That man could fly

I saw it when I was young

And it brought a tear to my eye

On fields of green, on warm

Summer days, he made

Lightening shoot through

Our veins.

Ted the head is dead

Line the streets with mourners

And tie red and white bunting

To the poles. Down in Glanmire

Old men worn from life’s troubles

Will tell stories of doubles

And cry softly in their pints.

And know deep inside

that time has them in its sights.

Well done. How true in every sense. RIP TEDDY BIY

Saw the photo on the Sars Facebook.
Really touching.
