One of the GAA's most recognisable supporters has passed away, it has been announced.

In early years the Christian evangelist had a sign that read John 3:16, the bible verse that states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

His funeral will take place in Limerick tomorrow.
