Hey everybody! I am here today with uh a man who is originally from Navin but he is now in moat, uh settled in moat, but he's here with me today. And uh a huge welcome to Daniel Colt Coulter. You got it right. Didn't you shut up? Daniel Calder. Um, and thank you for joining me here today, Daniel. We were chatting during the week and uh I was slotting in some guests and stuff and I thought that your story You have a lot in your life that has happened. For a young man
Yeah, well
turned
thirty seven their last hour, the end of July, so yeah. That's
young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I'm kidding. But it's yeah, look. Uh for y for as I said, for the age you are you've you've you've witnessed a lot, you've been through a lot, you're still standing, still coming. So Um w a as is appropriate, I think, or how I like to start a lot of these podcasts is really to go back um to what brought you here today. And I think we might go back and start with, I suppose, speaking a bit about your dad, because that was very significant to you.
Yeah.
Your dad, Jim. Yes. Can you tell me a little bit about him and your memories of him? What was he like? Yes. Yeah,
so I I m so myself, my two younger brothers. Um yeah, so growing up like like uh very outgoing, um he's from Donegal. So um we would have had all of our summers uh you know as kids up in Donegal, spent our summers up there uh by the beach, being pulled around in little boats on the in the water and in in Merva Beach, uh Rosnaula. Um Um Yeah, big into badminton. Um so that would have been something he would have been known for uh in back in Donegal in in in the younger days, but even in in Naven then as well, he would have been uh a very good bamington player. And he ended up then going into coaching, so he would have coached uh kids um yeah from the ages of maybe six up to fifteen, sixteen. Um yeah, so you know, uh
There was never I don't I think at Christmas there was always, you know, great Christmas presents, a lot of thought and effort gone into Santa and uh and and all that goes with that. And uh yeah, like l memories of, you know, th uh when I look back like and look at the photographs, my mother was has thousands. But this is back before now, the day and age that we're in now with technology. My mother has thousands and thousands of photographs at home. So
obviously. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, always had a camera in her hand. Uh uh and uh so things were well documented, you know. Um but I suppose s one thing that would have been said about him was as somebody that would have lighted up a room, you know, kind of a a a big man and a big personality, I suppose. That would be yeah, it's probably a way uh a fitting way of putting it, I think. Um uh and that so it was a a huge character but then also then comes huge loss. Yeah, yeah. But uh yeah, brilliant man. Yeah.
Wow. Um you sent me some pictures this morning actually. Yeah, just thought it was a lovely guy.
Yeah.
Just look so I don't know. There's something about him like he looks so in the prime of his life actually is what you would say. Lovely he had a dark hair and just lovely looking guy.
Yeah.
Um So obviously when you were quite young, um, as you discussed, he was into Babington and he was playing a match. Am I right in saying that when I was watching your YouTube that you sent me?
Oh yeah.
Um
Yeah, he was in a final. So
in in 1999.
Nineteen ninety nine. So it was November uh thirteenth, nineteen ninety-nine. Yeah, so he was playing a badminton final. So as I said there, he he played, he he coached kids, but he also played for for a club, Simonstown, um to be known for GEA, but he's was was heavily involved with the badminton club there. Um so he he played. Uh now There was a lot of warning signs around my dad. Uh would have taken what I suppose would have been maybe called stitches back at uh, you know, playing matches where he'd um be playing and have to take a break or, you know, he'd be shortless of breath. Um lots of warning signs, let's just say. But in nineteen ninety nine again it's a it was a very much a different time to now in in regards, you know, people being more maybe open around health, especially m male, you know, um uh males and also um
