Gary Lineker praises Bohemians for heartwarming gesture to long-serving volunteer

Bohemians have been widely applauded after a fantastic gesture to one of their longest-serving volunteers.

Jimmy O'Connor has been attending matches at Dalymount Park since the 1950's.

And he's been involved in the club for almost 40 years, doing every kind of job that needs doing.

His main duty though has been running the club lotto draw.

And now, Bohs have paid a wonderful tribute to O'Connor.

The walls of Dalymount have some pretty iconic murals on them featuring the likes of Bob Marley and Phil Lynott.

Well now, Jimmy O'Connor has his own.

People were quick to praise the Phibsborough club for their act - including Gary Lineker!

And plenty of fans had stories of Jimmy too!
