Did Damian have abrother called Paul who was in my year...Class 84?
He did indeed, he went on to be in the original line up of a goth/rock band called Creaming Jesus who as you can imagine went down hugely well in middle England. Here's their cover of The Cure's A Forest which Paul played on before he left the band, don't know if that's him playing guitar in the video as the quality is so bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoHR7m2eiDU
Very sad about Damien, my strongest memory of him other than playing rugby was that he was so desperate to join the army the whole time. I know he did but heard he didn't stay long as it didn't work out.
Very sad and shocked to hear this..Damian was my nursemaid and a close mate throughout school although i sadly lost touch once we'd left. In fact i only ever saw him once more, at a festival in London somewhere when he was just about to join the army. I have good memories of Damian though and am very sorry to hear he's gone so soon
Ok- I know this is outrageously late but I remember Damian well. He nicknamed me Lukie because of my 80s 'Lukemia' haircut and only once successfully managed to eat one of my cakes from home economics class ( after that, he ran a mile and I'm still crap at cooking!). He was always cheerfully bonkers and I thought he was fabulous. Him and Joe Nixon used to say I looked 'fruity' ( remember that one?!). I am genuinely gutted to hear this. Thoughts go to Selina and Mel and their mum. RIP, you nutter. Xx

There is no such time as 'late'......that you took time to remember a friend speaks volumes for him.........and you!!!
