Des was our goalkeeper coach for many years through many regimes. He suffered with depression that he recently spoke about the last few years.

Unfortunately, it seems to have gotten the better of him.

RIP Des.

Shame that the depression made him take his own life. RIP Des.

 

He was always the type to imply at supporter events, "ya can't post these things I said to the msg boards, lads". No filter when it came to offering his thoughts on some players and the direction of the team/RBGlobal. 


RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.

 

RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

brutal man.  I was lucky enough to have Des train me once, when i used to play regularly.  What a guy, will be missed.

Damn, RIP Des


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

 Awful news. Des had the ability to make those he meet feel positive about themselves. A big loss.

Des was a dammed legend of a person. 'I'm the best in the fucking business' was one of my favorite quotes of his. He was half taking the piss and half dead ass serious. That's what made him such a great personality. RIP Des.
