Murray Kinsella is in Rome, as Ireland prepare to face Italy in the Six Nations this weekend.

On The Record

It’s not easy for a Catalan guy to go to Germany after they had won a treble and have to learn Deutsch and get involved in that culture. And he helped me a lot – on and off the pitch. He was one of the most fantastic players I ever trained in my life. Even talking about the most intelligent players – he is one of them. Football is going to miss one of the best players I’ve ever seen. He can play in ten positions – no problems – because he understands the game perfectly.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola pays glowing tribute to the soon-to-be-retired Bayern Munich star Philipp Lahm.
