Henry Shefflin becomes the first GAA player honoured with National Gallery portrait

"I put my faith totally in the artist's hands, even though he's a Tipperary man."

Ireland's unofficial monarch has become the first GAA player to be honoured with a portrait in the National Gallery of Ireland.

"King" Henry Shefflin has joined the ranks of some of the country's best loved literary, sporting and artistic greats with an impressive painting by Tipperary artist Gerry Davis.
