Friends of a football fan who died hours after meeting his hero have spoken of their devastation.
Niall Cunneen, from Limerick in the Republic of Ireland, died on 3 May. The lifelong Evertonian, 56, had travelled to Liverpool the day before with the Irish Toffees supporters' group to go on a farewell tour of the club's Goodison Park stadium.
The fans later met former players including Mr Cunneen's idol Kevin Sheedy. They were due to attend the Blues' Premier League match against Ipswich the following afternoon but Mr Cunneen died in the early hours of the morning.
