Heroes honoured in their home place

THEIR names are famous throughout the sporting world but last night they were feted by the people who remember them as babies.

Drogheda’s three World Cup stars, Steve Staunton, 33, and the uncle and nephew duo of Gary Kelly, 28, and Ian Harte, 25, were honoured at a civic reception in the town.

But, unfortunately, Gary Kelly was unable to turn up. However, his teammates were presented with framed scrolls paying tribute to their achievements in the game.
