The GAA’s Director General Páraic Duffy will lead the association’s delegation at the funeral.
Duffy said: “I know terms like ‘larger than life’ are often overused, but it’s very hard to think of a better description of Páidí.

“He was a wonderful player, first and foremost, but also had incredible passion for football, and brightened up every room he came in to, and every social occasion.”

yes I like
Sad. Someone who was such a great athlete dies aged only 57. Any idea why? Yes, his death certificate may say something about cardiac arrest or heart failure. But take a closer look at the photo with this story and note the surroundings. Another casualty, perhaps, of you know what? Maybe. But it will not be mentioned in the obituaries.
