The Sydney Roosters are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player Robert McDonagh.

McDonagh, Rooster #475, played 55 games for the Club between 1957 and 1961 as a front rower, most notably in the Club’s 1960 Grand Final side.

Outside of football, ‘Bob’ carved out a long-standing career as a highly respected police sergeant. He is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy.

The Sydney Roosters extend their heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Robert McDonagh at this time.

Chooky, my love, you were bigger than life itself, leaving your mark on every single person you met. I will do my best to honour your legacy, to focus on the mission in front of me, to stand strong in my truth and power and to put my own troubles aside to help others, especially when I cannot help myself.

You will be so deeply and dearly missed by so many my love, but you would want us to celebrate your incredible life and all of the good times that we were fortunate enough to share. I am at least comforted knowing that you are reunited with your beautiful Mum.

Saying goodbye to a love like ours is the hardest thing I think I’ll ever have to do. I will always love you, to the moon and back. Xo

My deepest sympathies to Lucy and family. Keith was a true gentleman and a wonderful man. He was a real character and made everyone laugh and feel special. I will always appreciate and remember his sage advice not only about policing but about life in general. He was a one of a kind and he will be deeply missed by many people.

Vale Byrnesy.

Tony Wheeler

Condolences to Lucy and all of of Keith’s family.

Keith and I met at the Qld Academy in 1990. I was about ten tears younger than Byrnesy, but he, Martin Cook and I were probably still senior to most of the other probationaries, so a bond developed between us.

(Bruce Willett will have memories of that I’m sure.)

As a live-in at the Academy, probably the highlight of most days was starting by sharing breakfast in the canteen with Byrnsey and Cooky. The “entertainment” was usually provided by Probationary Keith Byrnes.

As I’ve heard from Bruce today, and Liz, Keith was a story teller. Embellishment was sometimes apparent, but mostly it added to the mood and enjoyment of the story.

I only saw Keith once since Academy days. How I wish there were more times. Bruce, you did a great job. Have a good time up there in the big pub Byrnsey!

Maureen &Joe Fawcett

To Lucy and family Joe and I were so very sad to hear of Keith’s passing, he always had a smile and a laugh when we met him in the park at Evans Head what a joy it was to know both of you we never did finish that last game of euchre.

Last year nearly to the day we visited Keith at Fern Bay you had to go to your band that day what a great memory that will be for Joe and myself…Sending gods blessing you and your wider family.

Maureen and Joe

Keith was a great neighbour and friend who always had time for a chat and a laugh. He called me (Kathryn) the sheriff of Dunkeith Av as I always kept an eye on him when Lucy was away!! His favourite quote was “Never buy a tool that your neighbour has”.
