Dundalk's classy tribute to Harry Taaffe ahead of Arsenal match in Europa League

Dundalk have paid a classy tribute to the late Harry Taaffe ahead of their Europa League clash with Arsenal tonight.

The Lilywhites' long-time groundsman passed away in July in a devastating blow to the club.

Prior to the game at the Emirates, Dundalk kitman Noel Walsh and his son Darragh placed a t-shirt, with a photo of Harry on it, in the team dugout.

Dundalk also tweeted photos of the t-shirt in the dugout, commenting: "We’ll be grand. Harry has our back!!"

A large flag containing a picture of Harry was also placed over a number of seats in the stadium.

Dundalk lost their opening group stage game 2-1 against Norwegian side Molde seven days ago and Filippo Giovagnoli has made three changes to the side that started that match.

Andy Boyle, Cameron Dummigan and Patrick McEleney all come into the starting XI for the clash at the Emirates in North London.
