Daughter of late RTE sports broadcaster Bill O’Herlihy pays tribute to dad on seventh anniversary of death

The daughter of late sports broadcaster Bill O’Herlihy has told how she misses her beloved father’s “unconditional love” every day as she marks his seventh anniversary.

Jill O’Herlihy said her late 76-year-old father was her “champion” who “championed her”. Paying tribute on the anniversary of his death, she wrote on Twitter: “7 years. I miss his unconditional love and support every day. He was my champion and the one who championed me.”

Bill was undoubtedly the face of Irish football for years - arguably most well-known for hosting RTE's coverage of our journeys at Euro 88 and the World Cups in 1990, 1994 and 2002.
