Local racehorse trainer John Dunlop sadly passed away, I had the pleasure of decorating the exterior of his house on the Duke of Norfolk`s estate which was across the road from his stables, a nice man with a nice family, Arundel doesn't seem the same without the stables there anymore.

I just heard on BBC R2 that William Dunlop, a motorcycle racer had died, in Skerries, Dublin in a practice session crash. Is this coincidence with the above or just inaccurate? RIP.

For any motorcycle lovers out there, William Dunlop was killed in a road race practice yesterday. His father Robert and his Uncle Joey were both killed during races. Joey Dunlop holds the record for the most Isle of Man TT wins 26

Road racing, such a thilling but dangerous sport.

RIP William

I remember him being a very underated player, but he had a real eye for goal & seemed to be a thoroughly decent person aswell from the interviews of him that I saw.

RIP.
