Ireland’s greatest ever defender pays tribute to Richard Dunne

When Paul McGrath is paying tribute to you, you know you are a bit of a legend.

The departure of Richard Dunne from the international scene will take a long time for fans, and the team, to recover from. Since the news broke last night, tributes have flooded in from a whole host of  former team-mates but this tweet from Ireland's greatest ever defender will surely mean more than most to Dunne.

Pleasure to have been able to say tk you to Richard Dunne has always given everything for Ireland, Much Respect ! — Paul McGrath (@Paulmcgrath5) August 1, 2014

We think it is safe to say Paul speaks for all of us there.
