THE massed regiments of the Red Army will never forget Brian O’Brien. They will ensure he is remembered across every square inch of his native province in the words of a song as synonymous with Munster rugby as You’ll Never Walk Alone is with Liverpool FC.
As if he hadn’t given the game enough over the course of a lifetime as an international centre, Lions selector, manager of Shannon, Munster and Ireland, ‘Briano’ gave Munster a battle cry of their very own which has long since become a ritual at Thomond Park.
