Tributes have been paid to an Armagh GAA 'super-fan' and father of three who died suddenly. Aaron O’Neill, 36, took ill at home on Wednesday and was later pronounced dead.
The Portadown man was a familiar face to many in Armagh GAA circles and he took a famous flag to Armagh games going back decades that became something of an institution. The 'Garvaghy Road Orangemen on Tour' banner was carried the length and breadth of the country during Armagh's golden era in the early 2000s when they landed the All-Ireland crown.
The Armagh Fans Twitter account shared the devastating news online. They stated: "This is the hardest post iv ever had to write. It's with such a heavy heavy heart that i announce the untimely death of Armagh super fan Aaron O'Neill. Not only did he travel the country with Armagh, he was joint admin of this page. He loved his county so much.
