Hundreds pay tribute to GAA legend Egan

Glowing tributes were offered in memory of the late John Egan last night as hundreds gathered in Cork for his removal in Wilton.

Friends and fans travelled from Mr Egan’s native Sneem in Co Kerry, only to return home to repeat the journey to attend his funeral this morning.

“He was an absolute hero in Sneem, our greatest ever export,” said Sneem GAA club chairman Jim O’Sullivan.
