Arsenal and Ireland hero Liam Brady meets Donegal legend Tony Boyle 

Sporting greats Tony Boyle and Liam Brady

1992 All-Ireland winner Tony Boyle was a happy man on Saturday when he bumped into former Ireland and Arsenal star Liam Brady. 

Boyle was at the Emirates Stadium in London to see the Gunners maintain their Premier League title push as they seen off Bournemouth 3-0.

Taking to social media, Boyle joked on X that the occasion was “no Ulster final but always a good day when you meet the legend Chippy”! 

Arsenal dominated the opening 45 minutes at the weekend and took the lead just before half-time from the penalty spot.

Kai Havertz was brought down by Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers and Bukayo Saka coolly rolled the ball into the net from the resulting spot-kick.

Arsenal doubled their lead in the 70th minute when Declan Rice won the ball on the edge of the box and teed up Leandro Trossard, who curled the ball home from inside the area, before Rice scored in added time to boost the Gunners' goal difference.
