I had become ambivalent about Saipan over the years - and then I watched the highlights of Ireland 1-1 Portugal from June 2001 that are doing the rounds (a game I was at) and you realise: “give him whatever he wants” - they would never have qualified without him. It’s shocking

"'Is everybody OK?' Those were the last words of a man who had just been shot in the head. Not a cry for help. Not a scream of pain. He asked about everyone else. Some men spend their whole lives trying to be heroes. Robert Kennedy was just being himself."

It was just after midnight on June 5, 1968. Robert F. Kennedy had just won the California Democratic presidential primary, a victory that positioned him as the likely next president of the United States. The ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles was electric with hope. He had spoken of ending the war in Vietnam, of bridging racial divides, of a better America. When he finished, he was told there was a shorter route to the press conference—through the kitchen. He agreed, shaking hands with hotel staff as he walked.

Then Sirhan Sirhan stepped out from a low tray-stacker and fired. Eight shots from a .22 caliber revolver. Three hit Kennedy. As he crumpled to the concrete floor, blood spreading across the linoleum, his first question wasn't about himself. Lying there, mortally wounded, he asked: "Is everybody OK?" Those around him would later say they couldn't believe it. In the moment of his own destruction, he was thinking of others.

He died the next day at 42. The nation that had already lost one Kennedy brother now lost another. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated just two months earlier. 1968 was tearing America apart. RFK had been the figure who seemed capable of holding it together—a white politician who marched with Cesar Chavez, who cradled a dying child in his arms in the Mississippi Delta, who spoke of healing when others preached division.

The photograph of him lying on that kitchen floor, a busboy named Juan Romero cradling his head, became one of the most haunting images of the 20th century. Romero, just 17, had been shaking Kennedy's hand moments before. He stayed with him until help arrived. He would carry the weight of that night for the rest of his life, visiting RFK's grave annually until his own death in 2018.

Some men leave behind speeches. Others leave behind policies. Robert Kennedy left behind a question that still haunts us: 'Is everybody OK?' In a world that often forgets to ask, maybe that's the most important legacy of all...

The irony here of course is Roy Keane was his top goalscorer in the qualifiers for 2002

March 16, 1968: Daddy leading the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City after announcing his candidacy for president. Thank you Harry Benson for capturing this moment. Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀💚

That scene in The Dark Knight where an employee tries to blackmail Bruce Wayne is a masterclass in calm intimidation. Lucius Fox shuts him down with one of the coolest lines ever — reminding him that blackmailing a billionaire vigilante who beats criminals for fun might not be the smartest plan. It’s subtle, sharp, and perfectly Batman.

JFK on the nuclear test ban: A journey of a 1000 miles must begin with a single step. My fellow Americans let us step back from the shadows of war & seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a 1000 miles or even more, let history record that we took the first step.

[Monika Wiesak @MonikaWiesak]

If that must come [giving up one's life], no cause, the cause of peace, is more worthy of that kind of a great contribution. To be able to make a maximum effort to serve peace in a time of maximum danger I would consider the most satisfactory of human experiences. - JFK

What a wonderful world that would be, indeed. But the powers that be certainly don’t want that.

[Four Died Trying — Feature Documentary Series @FourDiedTrying]

It is not healthy to stand for peace. JFK is not the only one to pay the price: His brother RFK did, also — as did MLK and Malcolm X 💔

RIP Ray Reardon, absolute legend of the game and one of Ronnie's most important figures in turning him into the champion he is today.

Here's a moment they shared before Ronnie won his 7th world title.
