Irish sports fans have been glued to their telly this evening as RTE showcases legendary GAA and soccer player Kevin Moran.
The 67-year-old sat down for Kevin Moran: Codebreaker alongside other sporting legends such as Paul McGrath and Norman Whiteside to review his time with Dublin GAA and Manchester United among other triumphs such as the FA Cup. The Drimnagh Castle man also spoke poignantly about his Republic of Ireland career.
Many fans of the Irish sporting legend took to social media to share their thoughts and likened the documentary to the previous RTE production on Liam Brady. Even Gary "Mani" Mounfield from The Stone Roses made an appearance.
One fan reminisced fondly, saying: "Watching Kevin Moran : Codebreaker on RTÉ One, and it’s great to see the likes of Robbo and Whiteside chatting and laughing alongside him. And McGrath being interviewed too. Brilliant players, the lot of them."
While another pointed out the stellar cast: "Even Mani from the Stone Roses. The cast of legends in this Kevin Moran documentary"
Others showed their great respect for his time as a player: "Kevin Moran was a tough bit of stuff. A no nonsense defender. They don't make men like Kevin anymore. He would go through a brick wall for you."
And another touted his importance in Irish sport: "Kevin Moran is a Dublin, Manchester United and Ireland legend. Kevin always gave 100%, he would put his head where others wouldn't put their feet and was most certainly one of the best players ever produced in our county and country."
Some were delighted with the production: "The Kevin Moran documentary is a joy. What a player. Hard as a coffin nail. Shame he could never head a ball without receiving stitches!"
While others learnt more about his historic career: "This Kevin Moran doc is great. Had seen the footage of the 85 red card before (harsh) but didn’t see how raging he was and then distraught."
