Blue plaque

What is recorded here

Danny (Robert Dennis) Blanchflower 1926-1993 footballer and journalist lived here. That is all the blue plaque tells, yet it drops a man into a house on Grace Avenue, County Down. He may have chased balls across grass or chased facts across paper, perhaps both, before dying in 1993. Ulster History Circle set the reminder where his ordinary life touched the street.
