There are some sad news this evening, as it has been confirmed that former Ireland international Ray Brady has passed away aged 79.
Ray, brother of Liam Brady, played a great number of international matches for his country.
In a statement, FAI chief John Delaney said “He was from a great footballing family and our thoughts are with his brothers Liam and Pat and all of Ray’s family at this sad time.
“Ray made his Ireland debut against Austria in Vienna 53 years ago so it’s poignant that he passed away just a matter of days after the national team recorded a win in the same city.
“Ray served his clubs and country with distinction as a player. We will pay tribute to him at next year’s World Cup qualifier against Wales.”
