Just saw this on Fox Sports, I also had no idea he was sick.

I will never forget that mark he took at the Gabba, one of the best I will ever see.

Yes that is correct, apologies just came in to edit my post but you were too quick.

Sad that he died of lung cancer despite being a non smoker.

I had heard a while back that he was sick and remember thinking how terribly unlucky and sad that 2 of the Irish imports to arrive at the same club at the same time got this awful disease. Then I had forgotten all about it until I read today's sad news. :(
