He is a man who traveled but always wanted to travel further,
He is man who lived sports, watched sports, enjoyed sports breathed them.
I remember him spending hours in a garden with me playing football despite him being some what less of his "physical prime".
Even now he spends his afternoons editing and critiquing unveristy journals and literature for the writers.
This is a man who lives for other people and to help each soul he comes across, a man I greatly respect and admire, and hate the fact he is now on borrowed time.
I don't have many heroes, but I can honestly say Micheal Collins was one of mine.
