    Default Thanks a Million, Big Fella!

    The genuinely immensely likeable Ben Dunne has passed on!

    A larger than life character!

    He once said money is like manure, it's no good unless you spread it!

    Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam!
    Ride them on the beaches!

    I loooooved him!

    Used to regularly meet him at a coffee shop across from one of his gyms, he truly was a larger than life character.

    Google his c@ke & hookers Florida party!!

    His radio ads for his gyms in Dublin were absolutely hilarious, not two fucks were given, They were so bad, They were good!!!! He did them himself, “ And all I will say to our competitors is, always remember, the elephant and the mouse. Dancing. Remember”

    Like, wtf?!

    Certainly a man who lived life to the full

    What a man!

    His gyms almost took over but covid hit them hard & Flyefit took advantage!

    The man will be remembered. RIP

    I was actually in Dubai when he passed away.

    I read the first line of this as he was one of your regulars, and honestly that wouldve made a lot of sense!
    Used to voice those radio ads like he was just after waking up in bed, i loved them.

    An absolute boyo, may he RIP.

    I met a girl once who was his secretary. She would not give away any secrets obviously, but he was certainly a larger-than-life character and a bit of a rogue, to say the least.
    More to that "kidnapping" too, than was ever revealed.

    R.I.P.
