Today we learned of the sad news that Fairview Rangers and Limerick soccer legend Sean Byrnes passed away. Byrnes won the FAI Junior Cup with Fairview Rangers in 1965 and is pictured below with former Fairview Rangers captain Jeffrey Judge with the 2020 FAI Junior Cup trophy in September.
Byrnes was the captain of the Fairview side who defeated Douglas FC in the decider in 1965. Byrnes holds the distinction of winning both the FAI Junior Cup with Fairview and FAI Senior Cup with Limerick during a distinguished playing career.
Below is the announcement on the Fairview Rangers official Twitter account. We extend our sympathies to the Byrnes family at this sad time.
