Funeral of talented Limerick footballer who died in jet ski tragedy hears he was 'a true hero'

Teenage Limerick FC soccer player Wassiou Ayawe Moran, who died last week in a jet ski incident, was remembered today at his funeral mass as “the most gifted soccer player, ever seen” on Shannonside.

Mr Ayawe Moran, 19, from Grattan Court, Old Clare Street, Limerick, died at the scene of the tragedy at the lakeside village of Killaloe, Co Clare, last Wednesday evening. Investigations are continuing into the circumstances that led up the tragedy.

A recording of “Stay With Me (Everybody’s Free)”, sung by London rapper Ironik, was played at the start of the mass held at St Mary’s church, Limerick City.
