The whole Fitzwilliam community was shocked and saddened to hear last week of the sudden death of Eddie Butler (MML, 1976), at the age of 65. Eddie was a Fitzwilliam legend, cherished by his contemporaries and loved by current students alike. What’s been said about Eddie as a player, as a writer, as a commentator, as the voice of montages, is all true. As a former captain of his country and British and Irish Lion, Eddie knew exactly what he was talking about. Eddie spoke of the longevity of our College community and the lifelong lessons he learnt during his time here.
