Liam Brady has been hailed as an 'absolute gentleman' after his RTE documentary aired on Monday.
Brady had a unique career and is regarded as one of Ireland's greatest players ever and spent seven years in Italy.
Brady would move from Arsenal to Juventus and played for Sampdoria, Inter Milan and Ascoli.
And Brady recounted his time in Italy in the doc as well as his entire playing career.
And Brady even lifted the lid of what it was like to be in England in the 1970s.
"It was a bad time, so much happening in Northern Ireland. The thing that struck me was that the English people didn't really understand what was happening in Northern Ireland, didn't understand the politics their government had put in place. They didn't understand it, either,'' he said.
"I was on the Tube one night and these guys were getting a bit forward with the girl I was with.
"I told them to stop and they recognised my Irish accent. They turned out to be from Birmingham and I became the subject of their temper over what had happened in Birmingham.
"Nobody helped me, but I managed to play on the Saturday. It wasn't too bad a beating."
And Brady was hailed after the documentary aired.
One social media user said: "Liam Brady, an absolute gentleman."
While another said: "What a great doc, Chippy is an all time great"
While another said: "Brilliant watch, Brady was one of a kind."
