Bill, Eamonn, John and Liam…the end of an era. Football coverage is not the same anymore, those were the days
I used to look foward to the commentarys more than the actual matches when it was, Bill, Giles, Brady and Dunphy. RTE really had a great thing going then
I worked in The Pilot bar back in around 1975. I remember Liam coming in with his parents for a drink. He was a well known star at that time but if you didn’t know it he wouldn’t tell you. He queued at the counter with his neighbours until it was his turn. He spoke to the staff with respect. He is one of Dublin’s finest people ever never mind Ireland. Long life and many more happy years to Liam.
I remember thinking at the time that it really was a golden age of football punditry with Bill, Eamon John and Liam in their pomp. It's sad now that the last of the fab four has shuffled off the stage.
People talk about how bad the team is, but I fear we're heading that way with pundits too. Liam Brady and John Giles were great players, dunphy to a lesser extent, but now we'll have Sadlier, Stephen Kelly, Kenny Cunningham. Big step down.
I still love listening to Eamon, John and Liam on The Stand. Miss Bill as well from the old quartet. End of an era. Great to have Didi, his knowledge of the game is the best now we have on the tv.
love LIAM BRADY my childhood hero, alongside EL DIEGO , what a player!! and what a football analist, he doesnt hold anything, he is an honest football man, and he wanted MESSI and ARGENTINA, TO WIN IT IN DECEMBER, the best ever irish footballer, the king irish #10 of italian football in the 80's I still think he should have played in iTALY 1990 (big jack got it wrong there), from the bench at least , what a football legend!!
All the best Liam!.Thanks very much for everything.
"Supreme Architect" here on CZcams have all the latest podcasts featuring Eamon, John & Liam. The boys still have a lot to say, just not on RTE.
I miss Bill too, he was a nice man, he wasn't very old only 76
Great man, amazing player at the time even when he was getting older playing for West Ham. He always brought great balance, a real insight into the ins and outs of the professional game. That time he spent out in Italy really set him apart allowing him to be able to see the game from a global perspective and not get so caught up in the local/parochial issues.
Liam Brady an Arsenal legend with a complete understanding of the game and my hero.
He should be ireland manager
Liam you’re an Irish Legend. Forever. On earth. And in heaven. Thanks for all you did for us. Ireland v USSR. Ireland v Brazil. The mayhem of Sofia. Ireland v Bulgaria. And more and more. Thanks so much…..I did one insult about Liam John and Eamonn on the dreaded social media. And I apologise for that. Wishing you all the best. Liam John Eamonn and Bill. Will always be Legends in my eyes. Liam. Everything you’ve done on and off the pitch. WAS AND IS CLASS. All the best Liam. Wishing you health happiness and prosperity. Eamon. L.
Billo and the three amigos will never be matched for me.
Back in the day youd watch the soccer more because of those lads than the actual game, tje glory days
It's probably a miracle how good the RTE punditry was with Giles, Dunphy, Brady and Bill. Pretty much nothing else has come close.
"Across the purple sky all the birds are leaving.. But who knows where the time goes?" The end of a most wonderful era sadly. I sat in the front of the TV as a 14yr old boy watching Ireland take their first foray into tournament football @ Euro '88. Ray Houghton! Italia '90's penalties. Alf & Home and Away are cancelled. Giants Stadium in NYC '94. Saipan in '02. Box office stuff each and every moment. Bill, John, Eamonn latterly Liam were our spirit guides. The country held its breath. I'm glad to have grown up and lived in such an era. That boy (i.e. me!) turns 50yrs old later this year. Where does the time go indeed!
chippy Brady with that left foot.Revered around the world.not many scored the winner against Brazil.from a Corkman thank Liam
The man's brutal honesty will be missed, you could sense the respect Didi has for Liam last night.
