Former Republic of Ireland international Frank O’Farrell has died.
At 94, the Corkman was the oldest living former West Ham player.
Before Brendan Rodgers, O’Farrell was the last Irishman to lead a team to the FA Cup final - with Leicester in 1969.

Matt Busby selected him to be his successor at Manchester United, but he lasted only 18-months at Old Trafford.
He would go on to manage Iran, and is the only Irish manager to have won international trophies, leading them to the Asian Cup and Asian Games titles.
