Dunne's tribute to departed English

Tipperary hero Tommy Dunne has told departed manager Nicky English: "You'll never be replaced."

Dunne, the skipper last year as English led Tipp to their first All-Ireland title in 10 years, said: "It wouldn't be fair to measure any manager who comes in against Nicky because he's a once off.

"Without a doubt he's the best manager I¹ve every worked under and it'll be very difficult to replace him, if that can be done."
