“It is with great sadness that I have learnt of the death of Liam Tuohy. 

Supporters of football across Ireland will feel a great sense a loss at his passing. As a player for Shamrock Rovers and Newcastle United and as a manager for the Hoops and the Republic of Ireland, he left a lasting imprint on the world of football. 

Sabina and I would like to extend our sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues.”
