Yes indeed. A great man of the people who achieved so much in his career at club level, was part of the great 1966 World Cup England team and as manager took the Rep. of Ireland team to meteoric heights. He is an iconic figure in Ireland.
A pity that was not honoured with a knighthood like his brother. He did much to heal the wounds at a crucial time in the peace process. We’ll not see the likes of him again. So sad that dementia robbed him of his memories in later life. But the good that he did lives on. May he rest in peace.
