   Former Republic of Ireland international Jimmy Conway has died aged 73.
Conway played for Bohemians in the mid-60s before heading across the water for a ten-year spell with Fulham, and later moving on to Manchester City.

Four of his brothers also represented the Gypsies, one of them - John - joining Jimmy at Fulham in 1971.

Conway played in the 1975 FA Cup final for the Cottagers, which they lost 2-0 to West Ham. He was the only non-Englishman on the field.

A creative midfielder, the Dubliner finished his career in the USA with Portland Timbers, with a short loan spell at Athlone Town sandwiched in between.

Conway won 20 caps for his country under Mick Meagan, Liam Tuohy and John Giles.
