Dan Tuohy, Former teammate
Pedrie was ever-so talented and when he turned it on, wow, he could really play. "He wasn't big into going into the gym and lifting weights, he wasn't an overly explosive player he just read the game really well. A naturally gifted number eight. He contributed an awful lot to the team when he was with Ulster, and very fondly thought of among the players. It's difficult to imagine really. It's such a sudden death it's difficult to comprehend to be honest and I know he'll be sorely missed. He was an honest grafter of a player. He was just a great guy to be around, a warm character always with a smile on his face
