The passing of Bobby Tambling marks the end of an era and the loss of one of football's most prolific and revered goalscorers. A legend of Chelsea Football Club, a champion in Cork Celtic colours, and a lifelong ambassador for the game he loved, Bobby passed away after a long illness at Care Choice Nursing Home, Montenotte.

Widespread regret has been expressed at the sad news of the passing of one of Cork’s greatest soccer marksmen, Charlie McCarthy. He died peacefully in the presence of his beloved wife Breda and family at the Cork University Hospital on Thursday. While Charlie did not conclude his outstanding career with a wealth of medals, his true greatness was defined by his impact, character, and legacy.

There was widespread sadness in Cork football circles following the passing of former Cork Celtic player Barry Notley, who died suddenly at his home in Blackrock on Friday morning at the age of 75. Barry belonged to a special generation of cross-channel footballers who came to Leeside during the game’s golden era and left a lasting imprint on the local sport.
