BBC Radio Ulster have produced a documentary on Jimmy Hasty, one of the finest players to have played in the League Of Ireland.

Jimmy was a striker who played despite having only one arm, scored over a hundred league goals for Dundalk in the 60's. His natural talent was such that George Best said he could do things with a tennis ball that George couldn't do with a full size ball.

Jimmy Hasty was murdered by loyalists in 1974.

That was was sweet, first time to see it. Had read a lot about him, and remember him being killed.

Had the pleasure of seeing him play. His ball control was terrific and he was totally fearless.
