‘Forever in our hearts’ – Tributes flood in after Armagh GAA player Caolan Finnegan, 20, dies from brain cancer
TRIBUTES have poured in after the death of Armagh GAA player Caolan Finnegan from brain cancer.
The 20-year-old was first diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease in August 2023.
Patsy noted that Lennon was in the process of grieving his mother's death so it was particularly kind of him to make time to come and see Caolan.
He said: “We never imagined in a million years that Neil Lennon would be in our house, having coffee with us.
That GoFundMe page raised over €330,000 which allowed him to travel to Germany to undergo specialised treatment.
