RIP Billo.

Bill O'Herlihy has died. https://twitter.com/RTEsport/status/602794138464034816 https://twitter.com/rte/status/602795102868774912 The Irish legend, who became famous for his trademark catchphrases "okey dokey" and "we'll leave it there so", was a hugely popular broadcaster on RTÉ's football coverage and a massively important part of the fabric of any Irish sporting fan's life. A superb journalist, an incredible interviewer, and an absolute gentleman; he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fans at this time. Thanks for the memories, Bill. bill o'herlihy In the words of the great man, "we'll leave it there so." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzYJT_8VfYw&feature=youtu.be Clip via RTÉ Sport
