R.I.P. Bill O'Herlihy. A wonderful man and a huge loss to his family and friends.

Ive commented in loads of threads today about him but I'm genuinely gutted. I never met him but he was a huge part of my childhood watching the sport on RTE. It was bad enough seen him retire.

Retired at a late age but its shame it was cut short so soon.

An absolute legend and a character who will be sorely missed.
