I wish for you a life...

wild songs
I wish for you a life where your blood sings
with the voice of an eager, wild thing.

& in this short time,
this is the song I sing
because I can.

His father was Edward John Flanigan, and he too was a member of the football club...
Both men have been remembered with a plaque at the Devon Meadows Recreation Reserve
