After four generations of family business selling sports goods and uniforms, to customers as diverse as giant of the rugby world, the All Blacks Jonah Lomu, and to all-blues guitar legend Rory Gallagher, it's final whistle time at Cork city centre's famed Finn's Corner business.

The landmark shop, run by the Finn family for over 140 years and including former Irish rugby legend Moss Finn as a co-director jointly with his brother Will, last week put up its 'Closing Down' sale banners, having been in gear since 1878, in a business founded by Drinagh draper, William Thomas Finn.
