Irishman pays tribute to Bill O’Herlihy from the Christ the Redeemer statue

Thanks a lot to Philip O’Brien, who sent this photo to us this afternoon ahead of Billo’s last match as RTÉ anchor.

Hopefully there’ll be a few more of these adorning the Maracana tonight.

In Rio today for world cup final supporting………Bill!!! @billoherlihy @RTEsoccer @JOEdotie #thanksbill pic.twitter.com/RDHxnHTVpj
