FOOTBALL, BOXING, JUDO

The small Brandywell area in Derry has produced a remarkable array of sporting talent, in football, boxing, and judo. And local people decided to celebrate their achievements with a mural. Ritchie Kelly spoke to the man who came up with the idea, Jimmy Melaugh. He also spoke to some of the sporting heroes themselves, including footballers, Liam Coyle and Tony O'Doherty; the former British and Empire Boxing Champion, Billy Kelly; Manchester City captain Jobby Crossan - and the artists Paddy Nelis and Jim Collins
