RTÉ produce moving tribute video as Anthony Foley inducted into Hall of Fame

The Munster legend was remembered at this evening’s RTÉ Sports Awards.

IN AN INCREDIBLY moving video, Anthony Foley was remembered as one of Ireland’s legendary sporting figures and inducted into the RTÉ/Sport Ireland Hall of Fame.

On a night celebrating the best of Irish sport in 2016, friends and family paid an emotional tribute to the Munster and Ireland legend who passed away in October.

His sister, Rosie, was in attendance to collect the Hall of Fame award on behalf of the Foley family.

“From our family we’d like to thank everybody,” she said. “Our family has been supported by neighbours, friends, our local community, the wider sporting community, the wider sporting community and across the world.

“Thank you is all we can say.”

    The word legend get chucked about. But in this case, it’s completely appropriate.
