Eamon Dunphy, Liam Brady and John Giles to reunite for Premier Sports TV coverage

Former RTÉ panellists Eamon Dunphy, Liam Brady and John Giles will reunite for Premier League coverage, starting next week.

The trio will be fronting Premier Sport's coverage throughout December, beginning on Tuesday evening for champions Manchester City’s visit to Burnley on Premier Sports 1.

The coverage will involve a number of simulcasts with Second Captains’ Eoin McDevitt fronting a second panel comprising of Kenny Cunningham and Chris Sutton.

Eamon Dunphy said "I'm delighted to be back with John and Liam, they're great lads. I'm a big fan of Ivan, he's a brilliant broadcaster.

"He's also a Manchester City fan so we will have a good bit of craic with him if Burnley beat them on Tuesday."

Premier Sports owner Michael O’Rourke added “Unlike the Premier League teams we’re getting our business done before January.

"We’re delighted to reunite Ireland’s most beloved and iconic football panel. We’re very much looking forward to Eamonn, John and Liam bringing their unrivalled expertise and colour to our subscribers.

“December will see Premier Sports coverage reach new heights and on St. Stephen's Day Premier Sports will be the go-to channel for football fans to watch all the action with four live games back to back and an additional five games available on Sky’s red button.”

Newstalk’s Ivan Yates will act as the Bill O'Herlihy of the colourful panel as he makes his football coverage debut.

It will be the first time since 2016 for the former Ireland internationals to share a screen following their exit from the national broadcaster after a combined 90 years of service.

The iconic ex-pros will also be contributing to the station’s other flagship game on Wednesday night in the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.
