Just after Xmas 1967, me and another kid climbed up the railway embankment facing the Railway pub. I was always terrified of the lines because my grandad worked for the railways and had always drummed into me what would happen if I went near them. The lad who was with me asked me to cross the lines with him but I was to scared so he decided to go it alone. He took one step and slipped on the snow/ice right on the live line, I think he was killed instantly. What a waste of a life, he was 7 or 8. His name was Brendan Maye.
I was thinking about Brendan just recently, which is why I searched this thread, in my mind's eye I can see him in those old school mackintosh coats with a belt around the waist, I wonder if anyone has a photo of Brendan Maye?
my name is Jimmy O'Connell, I went to St Winnie's then St Joans, then Salesian,
