Time steals everything and too few of my heroes remain.

Charismatic, exciting and a genuine star, I consider myself very fortunate to have seen him play. Gòodnight Dessie.

Been to the game today and was shocked and saddened to hear there would be a minutes silence for Des, incredible player.

Very sad news, condolences to Dessie's family and friends.

Been keeping an eye on sky sports news since I heard the news expecting something to pop up.
Drummond captained Great Britain and when he signed for us was the all time most capped GB player with something like 47 caps.
TV star in the 80' s on superstars and SSN have not even mentioned it.
Yet some yank that plays a game on the other side of the ocean retires and they are all over it.
But Ifrom Sky sports perspective the split from rugby union actually happened in 1996
Amazing

Nah Sky sports to bust talking about Tom Brady, even BBC website have opened an HYS on Brady but Dessie only gets a post, sad times when we can’t comment on sports people in our own country.

Really sad news. A character and a fine player.

RIP

Not for me to say, but I don't think many fans would complain if a stand was named the Des Drummond stand

Very sad news.
RIP Dessie, legend.

Gutted isn't the word..loved this guy to bits..went to the ground in 2019 for an afternoon with sir Les Boyd walked in Rodney for a few and des walked in with his lad..he looked as fit as a fiddle far fitter than most players today..got numerous memories of the guy as we all have but one to savour is the iro punch at wembley near full time..god bless mate r.i.p thanks for the memories..

In shock. I grew up watching Dessie. What a tough, tough man. The way he flew in off his wing to smash his opposition centre was borderline illegal. Searing pace too of course, the only man I ever saw who caught Martin offiah from behind. Incredible athlete, taken far too young. RIP mate, thanks for everything.

Absolutely shocked to hear this when awaiting the game yesterday. Certainly on my short list of heroes. An edge of your seat exciting player who seemed to be up to full speed after only a few paces. Devastating with the ball and I most certainly would not want to be tackled by him. He was only at Warrington for a relatively short time when compared to his time at Leigh but quite rightly is a legend at both clubs. A joy to watch. RIP Dessie, the glorious memories will live on.

Very sad news rip big man
