Today’s marks the 58th birthday of Liam Brady. From signing as a teenager with Arsenal, to his wavy-haired international début at Dalymount, to his time as a star of the title-winning Juventus, Brady is considered among the greatest players ever to emerge from this island. As a pundit, he is a key member of RTE’s legendary panel. Chippy, we salute you.
IRISH footballing legend John Giles celebrates his 70th birthday today and marked the occasion with the launch of his new autobiography and a Late Late Show tribute.
