Stone the flamin' crows! Look who congratulated Cork City on winning the league - all the way from Summer Bay

Cork City won their first SSE Airtricity title in 12 years last night - and would you look at who took to Facebook to send his congratulations!

Actor Ray Meagher - but we all know him as big-hearted curmudgeon Alf Stewart from Australian soap Home and Away - sent some unexpected congratulations from Down Under.

“Congratulations to all at Cork City,” he said. “Well done guys.

"Don’t worry about the last 10 or 12 years – anyone can have a quiet decade. But now, you’re the champions. Good on ya!”

The city must have left an impression on him after he came for a visit in 2015.
