Football mourns after death of Ray Brady, 79

Ray Brady, former Ireland international, has passed away at the age of 79.

His brother Liam wrote about Ray in his Irish Examiner column only last Monday, noting with pride that Ray had played in the team which beat Austria 3-2 in a celebrated game at Dalymount Park in 1963, the last time Ireland beat Austria until Saturday night’s 1-0 win in Vienna.

Revealing Ray was in poor health, Liam said Ireland’s latest victory would have “cheered up” his brother.
