Liam Brady has announced he is to step down as an RTÉ pundit| PICTURES RTÉ
AHEAD of this Monday's Euro Qualifier against Gibraltar at the Aviva Stadium, Ireland legend and longstanding RTÉ soccer panellist Liam Brady has announced that he will be stepping down from his punditry duties after the game.
Liam has been an integral part of the RTÉ panel for 25 years and his partnership with Eamon Dunphy and John Giles under the stewardship of the late Bill O'Herlihy will be remembered as a golden age of football punditry by many both in Ireland and internationally.
Speaking about his retirement, Brady said: “I have had the most amazing time working on RTE’s football coverage over the last 25 years and it is now fitting that I draw it to a close. I started with the World Cup in 1998 with my great friends Eamon, John and Bill. We had great fun together in between the arguments.”
Speaking following Liam's announcement the Head of Sport at RTÉ Declan McBennett paid tribute to Liam saying: “Liam will forever be remembered as both a truly great player and a tremendous pundit who brought enormous insight and wisdom to the role of analyst. In the quartet of Giles, Brady, McGrath and Keane, Liam occupies his place in Irish sporting immortality.”
Coverage of the Republic of Ireland v Gilbraltar begins at 7pm on RTÉ 2 television.
