We had great fun together in between the arguments,” said Brady.
AFTER 25 YEARS of punditry, the end has come for longstanding RTÉ soccer panellist Liam Brady after tonight’s Euro Qualifier against Gibraltar at the Aviva Stadium.
Speaking about his retirement, Brady commented, “In 1990 I retired as a player at the age of 34. In 2016 I retired from my position in the Arsenal Academy and now I’m announcing my retirement from TV punditry with RTÉ Sport.“I have had the most amazing time working on RTE’s football coverage over the last 25 years and it is now fitting that I draw it to a close. I started with the World Cup in 1998 with my great friends Eamon, John and Bill.
“I fondly remember the commentary box in Paris with George Hamilton when my beloved Arsenal were one-nil up against Barcelona. Henrik Larson came on and changed the game. I also remember fondly the emergence of a brilliant Barcelona led by this new coach Pep Guardiola with some young kids called Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
RTÉ Head of Sport, Declan McBennett, paid tribute by saying, “Liam will forever be remembered as both a truly great player and a tremendous pundit who brought enormous insight and wisdom to the role of analyst.
