Carriglea Gardens

[doodledo]

Welcome Doodledo ! hope you enjoy the banter here !!
I worked with Ski McCann, he was a good mate of mine, as far as I can remember he was a founder member of Spurs Supporters Club in Dublin in the 70s.
Had many a session with him, mostly in McKenna's in Dun Laoghaire, Does he still live in Carriglea and is he still in the ESB ? Lost touch with him around 1980.

Keeper, Ski moved out of Carriglea years ago to the private houses behind Sallynoggin church, can't think of the name of the estate, but sadly Ski must be between 3-5 years dead. I worked at his retirement party which was in the Goat Grill and got talking to him, only to find him to be sound. As a kid in Carriglea i'd be with his 3 sons and i seen him differently at that age...anyway he had a clapped out car in his garden full of empty fish boxs and we'd play away on it and in it...great!

it must be terrable for the people living in carriglea for years or even all their lifes and now have your privacy invaded by the overlooking honey park apartments

[keeper]

Thank you Doodledo, I am so sorry to hear about Ski, he was a character and we had some great times and many an adventure together. As always, it is a shock when you don't even know a friend has died and only find out years later, I moved from the area years ago as well and have lost touch with many others, this is why this site is so important to me and others who have, or had to move away.

I knew many of the people from the gardens Austin O Dowd, Dec Tate, Wack Smith, in fact my P S V officer in Wexford is an O Sullivan from Carriglea .
Keeper Ski McCann died some years ago, he played on the early ST Josephs Boys teams with Tommy Kinsella R I P Fran Byrne, Dave McCann, Pat Whelan and Mick Duffy from the Farm ,Donny Jenkins and John Byrne, Tony Wildes, Liam O Brien Chuckie Corrigan and Brendan Bell from Glasthule

[keeper]

Hiya Harjoe ! I couldn't be far behind him so, because I played with or against nearly all those you mentioned, is Fran Byrne still around ? half afraid to ask about any of my football pals of those days.
