Nicely done.
Ben Farrell, a Dublin GAA super-fan, tragically passed away earlier this month after a battle with a rare form of cancer know as Wilm's tumour, which affects the kidneys. Dublin fans paid tribute to the five-year old, known as 'Batman Ben' because of his love for the character, during Sunday's epic All-Ireland football semi-final win against Kerry at Croke Park with a round of applause after five minutes. Dublin corner-back Philly McMahon paid his own tribute to the tragic youngster, and showed Ben was in the player's thoughts ahead of the game with Kerry. Philly tweeted a photo following the game, in which he's wearing a Batman t-shirt in honour of Ben. Nicely done. https://twitter.com/PhillyMcMahon/status/769939710127050752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
