Tributes to Cork City’s ‘Mrs Football’ Noelle Feeney

Cork City FC last night paid tribute to legendary fan Noelle Feeney, who died yesterday, by making her a permanent honorary trustee.

Ms Feeney, from Pearse Rd, Ballyphehane, who was known for decades as the public face of the football club, died in Marymount Hospice yesterday morning — a hospice for which she helped fundraise for more than 30 years.

“It is with a heavy heart that we [report] the death of Noelle Feeney,” the club said in a statement last night.
