The event 'An Evening With Johnny Giles, Eamon Dunphy and Liam Brady' raised controversy when pundit Eamon Dunphy revealed he had not agreed to participate. Advertised for April 28 at Vicar Street, tickets sold for €50 were later pulled by Ticketmaster once Dunphy alerted the public. Following this revelation, the Irish Professional Footballer's Association replaced Dunphy with Niall Quinn. Organizers now face questions about ticket refunds while the event aims to support former professional footballers in need.
"I have noticed that there are media ads for an event featuring John Giles, Liam Brady and myself in Vicar Street. I haven't agreed to participate in any such event."
"Niall didn't hesitate for a moment to agree to joining John and Liam which says everything about his commitment to Irish footballers' welfare."
