“He always smiled and was happy all the time,” his father added. “He had so many friends. He is a hero, a real hero. I want the world to know what my son did. He was a man.”
“He was such a fantastic footballer,”  “We have trophies everywhere in the house. Ricky was going to play for Ireland, that’s what he said he was going to do.”He added.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
