Tony Meaney, Limerick midfielder of the successful sides in the early eighties passed away suddenly in the early hours of this morning at the age of 52. Personally speaking, I remember being brought to the Makets Field when I was 13 or 14, and he was one of my idols. A total pro, both on and off the pitch, he was a credit to Limerick football, and will be sadly remembered and missed.
I'm shocked - Tony was a legend. Part of the league winning team in 1980. Best man I ever saw to take a penalty. Original midfield hatchetman.
Deeply saddened by this very sad news. A neighbours child as the saying goes.
I recall as a child him showing me the representative shirts he had earned for Ireland.
It was a great era for Limerick football and Tony was a great part of it I doubt we will ever see the likes of it again.
The only fitting tribute would be to return to the markets field.
Feel really sad
