  • Aidan McAnespie (196521 February, 1988) was an Irish Catholic who was killed in contested circumstances by a bullet from a heavy machine-gun held by a soldier at Aughnacloy border checkpoint in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland during The Troubles.
    McAnespie, a member of Aghaloo gaelic football club, was travelling to a match when he was killed. He had previously claimed that he had been threatened by the security forces. According to his sister, British soldiers had threatened to kill him on several occasions. The army claimed McAnespie had been hit by a ricochet when the weapon had discharged accidentally as the soldier was moving the gun with wet hands. Charges were initially brought against Grenadier Guard Jonathan Holden for manslaughter but were dropped prior to prosecution.He was fined for negligent discharge of the weapon and in 1990 was given a medical discharge
    The Catholic Primate of All Ireland Cardinal Tomas Ó Fiaich and Dr. Mick Loftus, the President of the Gaelic Athletic Association, have both described McAnespie's death as murder.
    A song, Aidan McAnespie, dedicated to his memory, has been sung by Celtic fans at Celtic Park and at celtic away matches...The largest Gaelic football club in Boston, Massachusetts is named in his memory...

    @celticmarco Marco, the Gaelic ground or Gaelic pitch is the place in Ireland where you can play celtic games such as gaelic soccer for instance.
    By the way, I'm from breton roots and spent 8 months in Belfast city in the late 80's when I was in my early 20's !
    Seems a long time ago now... But I shall never forget my celtic soul brothers there !
    Long live Ireland 32 counties ! Long live Bobby Sands and all his in-mates at Long Kesh !
