The Anthony Foley documentary on RTÉ moved the nation

A husband. A father. A son. A friend. A Munsterman.

Antony Foley left his mark on this world. In 42 short years, the impact he had on friends, family, team mates and fans was incomprehensibly massive. With a 13-year Munster career, a 10-year Ireland stint, the legendary number 8 lived a full life. An inspiring one. A year ago, he was taken from this earth far too son and left the rugby world and the whole of the country in total shock. In his memory, RTÉ provided a beautiful documentary on Axel, the Munsterman. Produced by Adrian McCarthy of Wildfire Films, the moving piece was directed by Ross Whitaker and edited by Vinny Beirne and it really amounted to something special. It celebrated his life, it was poignant and powerful and it drew heartfelt applause from every corner of this island and from people who are still struggling for a way to put into words the impact Foley on each of their own lives. Past players and family gathered to tell stories of Foley and talk about his legacy in a tear-jerking production. On Monday night, Anthony Foley: Munsterman was a sad but sweet journey down memory lane with one of the nation's favourite sons. https://twitter.com/MaggieAherne97/status/920038965020905472 https://twitter.com/mikeycoyb/status/920039096168394752 https://twitter.com/Vinnybrick/status/920039313454362627 https://twitter.com/tcole72/status/920038851187478530 https://twitter.com/rbondrugby/status/920038743456845824 https://twitter.com/LornaOSullivan9/status/920044184274456578 https://twitter.com/seanmccarthaigh/status/920044008872857600 https://twitter.com/mccarthykanturk/status/920043892191498240 https://twitter.com/CathalFanning/status/920043777930211329 https://twitter.com/katiekins76/status/920043429085708288 https://twitter.com/shaneguest/status/920043331773714433 https://twitter.com/Tmclarnon15/status/920043206984822787 https://twitter.com/cmckee1980/status/920043133848694784 https://twitter.com/Pat_Shortt/status/920042467977781248 https://twitter.com/shane_clav9/status/920042466321096704
