| We spent some happy seasons at clacton when Danny was there as the football coach.We had a code with the woman which was a " knockback" he will remember this as we all had great fun not being able to pull a bird which you fancied Yes,tell him if he gets this blog that the bird Penny who i pulled has been my wife for 40 years.I often wonder what happened to friends like Danny from Butlins as it was a part of my life which i would never have missed.Ask him does he remember Lee Freeman and Pam Goldsmith from the shop ? Baz Davies is still with us and i see him every week.
Billy Dunlop vanished and would not know if he was dead or alive.While I'm typing this John Virgo is on television with the snooker.All the best Danny.email me if you can.

| Danny had the reputation for liking a drink or three! Saw him play once for Northern Ireland against a USSR side that were very fit and disciplined. The complete opposite of Danny! Hope you are enjoying your retirement Danny! Ken Garrett 20-03-2011 |
| Surprised that no-one has cordoned onto the fact that though he was born in Coatbridge in Scotland, that Danny Hegan played International football for Northern Ireland. Alasdair Niven 27-01-2011 |

| I saw Danny make his league debut at Burnden Park for Ipswich.Unfortunately for him Bolton won 6 v 0.I remember Gordon Taylor,now of PFA fame, scored 2 goals.
I was Personnel Manager at Butlins Clacton in 1980 and he sent in an application for a job as a Kitchen assistant but when I saw his previous employment record on the application I sent it to Entertainments dept who recruited him as Football coach for the kids and he really shone at that.He also judged staff competitions for me along with Colin Milburn,the England cricketer and played for the Butlins Managers team.I hope you are keeping well Danny.all the best.

| We lived next door to the Hegan family and Danny was a hero to us. He would come home in the summer and play football with us in the street and the back garden, he taught me how to "nutmeg" an opponent. He was a real Greenend/Coatbridge man, and I wish him all the best. Thomas Kane 04-03-2008 |

All the best(haegy),he hated this nickname.

| Coming from Greenend in Coatbridge just like Danny, I remember fondly how excited my fater and I would get when Danny was on the television.
"Ah you can`t beat a Greenend man" was always belted out.
However I`ll never forget the Big smile on his face the night I brought Danny home after a night on the town, Ma Da just couldn`t wait to make him a wee cupa and start blethering, after I played Danny Boy on the Piano of course! You`ll never forget that Wee Man.
All the best Danny, hope you are doing fine.

| danny is my uncle and is living in birmingham close to the city centre.great crack and has never changed danny was up in scotland recently and is looking magic. michael donnelly 19-08-2006 |
| Danny Hegan was a player I always admired, clever and combative. I saw him in the late 70s a few times when he was working behind the bar in a fairly louche pub at the southern end of Tower Bridge called The Copper Kettle. I always thought it was a shame he didn`t work in the Anchor Tap which was where we used to drink.
Ipswich could certainly do with a player of his drive and vision now! John McInnes 12-08-2006 |
| My childhood footballing hero beside Eddie Spearritt. I met Danny in the 70s when he was working as a football coach at Butlins Holiday Camp in Clacton! Stuart Woodward 23-12-2002 |
