Liam Brady has been with RTE for 25 years and was considered a part of the “golden age” of punditry when he worked with the late Bill O’Herlihy, Eamon Dunphy and John Giles.

Brady on his decision said: “In 1990, I retired as a player at the age of 34. In 2016, I retired from my position in the Arsenal Academy, and now I’m announcing my retirement from tv punditry with RTÉ Sport. He added:

“I have had the most amazing time working on RTE’s football coverage over the last 25 years and it is now fitting that I draw it to a close.”

This will be the end of a great era in football punditry on RTE, the personality, and chemistry those pundits had will be hard to replicate in the coming international and club competitions that they covered.
