Broadcasting legend (and proud Cork man) Bill O'Herlihy blew the final whistle on 49-year career last weekend, with the World Cup final having been his last stint at the helm of the RTÉ sports panel.

We've already shown you the RTÉ video tribute to Billo's distinguished career (covering 10 Olympics, 10 World Cups and more Dunphy pen-flinging than you can shake a stick at, it's worth watching if you haven't seen it already, especially for George Hook's bits).

But now RTÉ have also released a lovely clip of Bill's last day at the office, taking us right from the moment he pulls up to Montrose in a taxi (and being charmingly bemused by the assembled photographers) through to his final farewell on-air after Germany's 1-0 win over Argentina and even a few bits from the afterparty (we're looking at you, Peter Collins and your 'sherbets').

Have a good one, Bill.
