We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Council member Brian White.
A dedicated servant to football and a much-loved figure within the game, Brian made a significant contribution that will be felt across all strands of football in Northern Ireland.
Many supporters will also remember "Whitey" as a familiar face within the GAWA, proudly following @NorthernIreland at home and away, sharing his passion for the team and creating friendships wherever he went.
Our thoughts are with Brian's family, friends and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
