I never heard of him whereas the name of Brendan The Dark Hughes is and will always be enshrined in the hearts and minds of Republicans for generations to come.
Proof of this is the reaction to the Sinn Féiner Donaghy's vile and repulsive Tweet across social media, including The Falls Facebook page.
I am proud to say that I knew The Dark and witnessed first-hand his leadership qualities and that of Bobby Sands, firstly in H6 from February 1979 until we were moved to H3 in September that same year, and I found myself in the same wing with them again.
The Dark, unlike Adams and McGuinness, led from the front at all times.
I would like to remind Rory Donaghy that his so called great leader Gerry Adams sent an email to the Garda Commissioner naming three colleagues, who had remained loyal to him, for the killing of the screw Brian Stack.
Now that is touting.
History is a cruel mistress and as we've seen, since the emergence of social media, there will always be investigative journalists and writers brave enough to dig up the dirty secrets that have been buried in the hope that they might never be brought to the surface.
It's easy to sleep on another man's wound, but it's not so easy to sleep knowing what the future could reveal about your past.
It was pointed out to me that this all began with a post from The Rat in a Hat Danny Morrison which comes as no surprise...
