I first met Peter in 1988 and, over the next 25yrs, got to know him rather well. You'd be forgiven for thinking that conversations like this took place on a regular basis. But they did not. In fact, contrary to popular belief, Peter, although he did drink to excess at times, especially in the early years, was very rarely the mess he purported to be. He was a quiet, extremely organised man, who was at his happiest having a raucous night... pretending to be incapably drunk, when in fact, he'd switched to softer drinks hours before. That's not to say these anecdotal events never took place, because they did. It's just they took place with slightly less alcohol on Peter's side than he had people believe. Even those he was with at the time. To say Peter was a was warm, genuine and unbelievably thoughtful man, is to woefully underestimate him. He was truly one of a kind and I will always be grateful for his friendship.

@James Henderson "O'Toole was born in 1932. Some sources give his birthplace as Connemara, County Galway, Ireland, while others cite St James University Hospital, Leeds, England. O'Toole claimed he was not certain of his birthplace or date, noting in his autobiography that, while he accepted 2 August as his birthdate, he had a birth certificate from each country, with the Irish one giving a June 1932 birth date."
