I looked up to Jim McDowell. In every way. Brave. Brilliant. Best of Belfast.
He loved the city. First met him at CIYMS rugby club (he used to say CIYMS stood for Come In Your Ma's Shouting)
Learned from him at City Hall (Dome of Delight)
Belfast has lost a giant of journalism.

I took this picture last year upstairs in Jim’s beloved Duke of York pub. He shared the traumatic night of the murder of his friend and Sunday World colleague Martin O’Hagan, and the many times they were attacked and threatened.
Thoughts with Lindy & family.
