Frank O’Farrell, the only Irishman to ever manage Manchester United, died yesterday at the age of 94.

O’Farrell, who was born and raised in Cork, was at the helm at Old Trafford between July 1971 and December 1972 but always insisted the controversial spell shouldn’t overshadow a life dedicated to football, family and his faith.
