Earlier this week, the Liam Whelan bridge in Phibsboro, North Dublin was vandalized with offensive graffiti.  

Dedicated to former Manchester United star Liam Whelan, the actions of the vandals caused understandable uproar as it insulted the memory of a man who passed away in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster.

Fans of Bohemians FC cleaned off the offending graffiti on Monday and today people went a step further by placing an assortment of jerseys along the bridge in a touching tribute to the Dubliner who died aged just 22.

Off The Ball Football Show's Dan McDonnell tweeted this image earlier.
