Our
thoughts and prayers go out to the family and their friends at such a terrible
time for them.
We also
think of the Ulster squad, who undoubtedly will be shaken by this terrible
loss, and for some it will be the loss of a very close friend.
Who could
forget his wonderful somersault try against Bath in the Heineken Cup two years
ago? Or what about his double against the Dragons in the Magners’ League the
same year? Three crucial tries in a successful season for the province and a
successful season for Nevin.
In his
short career, Nevin Spence lit up Ravenhill with his dazzling footwork and mazy
runs. In just two years he had already established himself as a starter in the
Ulster side and people were saying it was only a matter of time before he was
an Ireland regular. It is sad to think that his light has been extinguished. He
was a player who was dedicated to the Ulster cause and gave his all in a white
shirt.
Ulster’s
game this Friday in Parma against Zebre has been postponed and a minute’s
silence will be held before every PRO12 game this weekend. A fitting tribute to
such a talented young player.
Nevin Spence
- he will never be forgotten.
