I was in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin yesterday to see a legend don the Irish jersey for the last time on home soil. It was a pretty special occasion. I didn’t have the best seats but I was nicely positioned to get the following image at the game’s conclusion, when a massive ‘Thank you Brian’ banner was unveiled to the masses to see the great man off.
140 caps (a world record, no less) over 15 years of service. Thank you indeed. Ireland vs. Italy, Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland. March 8th, 2014 (iPod Touch v5)
It was a hell of a game. Hell of a win, one that sets it up nicely for next weekend’s showdown with France. I’ll be in France for that, enjoying the spectacle no doubt over a bottle (or two) of vino in Nice on the the French Riviera. Sorry, I’m not (intentionally) gloating. I just think that’s cool. #LifeisGood #LivingTheDream
