We can’t wait to see this when it’s completed.
It’s going to be a very special summer as we get ready for the European Championships in France in June, but one man will be missed more than anyone else.
The great Bill O’Herlihy passed away last May at the age of 76 having presented RTÉ’s coverage of Ireland’s football internationals, World Cups and European Championships – along with his work in various other sports – from 1978 until his retirement at the end of the 2014 World Cup.
The Back Page in Phibsborough are painting their own very special tribute to Billo in their beer garden in time for Ireland’s campaign against Sweden, Belgium and Italy in June and we can’t wait to see the finished work.
For the moment, you can make out the Corkman’s famous yellow jumper and the phrase ‘Okey Doke’ on the wall.
Great work all round, and thanks to Stuart Kennedy for sending it our way.
