He won league and cup honours with Cork Hibernians and went on to play 97 times for Galway Rovers while he also managed the club twice.

It was during his time at the helm of Rovers that the club got to the 1980 League Cup final.

In an emotional tribute, Galway United praised him as one of the “most inspirational leaders and finest ever footballers”.

United said: “John’s play was fiery, aggressive, determined and an inspiration to all.

“That a man of his stature showed such power and resolve set the benchmark for colleagues and charmed local supporters.

“John settled in Galway with his wife Pat to raise their family.

“It could truthfully be said about John that he epitomised the Gaeilge phrase, b’fhear é nach ndearna dhá leath dhá dhícheall ariamh.

“He was a man who never spared himself.

“He supported and counselled many in a quiet discreet fashion. His pride and love for his family was central to his very being.

“In his craftmanship as a sign-writer, in his beautiful and accomplished paintings and in his study and love of Gaeilge John showed that he was much more than an ex-international footballer.

“He lived life to the full and connected to the core of Galway life .

“We send our deepest condolences to his wife Pat and sons Mark and Paul and to all the Herrick family.”

Herrick’s son Mark played for Cork City, with the Leesiders joining tributes to his dad.

The club said: “Everyone at Cork City FC is saddened to learn of the passing of John Herrick.

“John was a former Cork Hibernians player, and father of former City player, Mark Herrick.

“Our thoughts are with the Herrick family at this time. May John rest in peace.”

And the League of Ireland official social media account said: “We are saddened to hear the passing of John Herrick, a League of Ireland legend who counts great careers at Galway United, Shamrock Rovers and Cork Hibernians amongst his illustrious CV.

“Capped by the Republic of Ireland, John won the LOI with Cork in 1971, and the Men’s FAI Cup in 1972 and will be greatly missed by all in the League.”

Millie returned to social media with photos of her nose in a cast.

In one picture, she is seen smiling for a selfie from her hospital bed.

Another snap shows her appearing to be in agony while holding a bag of frozen peas against her nose shortly after the accident.

After the surgery, Millie returned home with her nose bandaged up.

She posted a picture of her sweet daughter curled up next to her as she recovered from the operation.

Millie shared her ordeal, writing: “If I’ve been quiet on here recently, there’s a reason why…

“Three weeks ago, Aurelia accidentally fractured my nose!

“She threw her head back while I was holding her and the back of her skull hit me right in the middle of my nose.

“I heard a crack, went to get it checked, and ended up needing surgery at the end of last week to correct the fracture.

“Has this ever happened to other parents? Seriously a parenting low — but also, you kind of have to laugh.”

Millie explained that the incident happened when the youngster was having a tantrum.

“Sienna is nearly five and has been having huge meltdowns and violent tantrums,” she shared.

“We’ve been setting new boundaries at home and supporting her through the adjustment, and it does seem to be helping.

“I realised I wasn’t being firm enough — she thought she had all the power, and it just wasn’t a healthy dynamic.”

The reality star explained that she’d been experiencing some challenges in her personal life lately which has taken its toll on her.

“I hadn’t had one in months, but this week I had a panic attack,” Millie said.

“I felt like I was going to pass out, and for about three hours it kept coming in waves.

“The difference is, I knew what it was.

“I talked to myself kindly, breathed through the discomfort, and put ice on the back of my neck — which really helped.

“A year ago, this would have ruined my whole day, maybe even my week. I can see how far I’ve come.

“Lately I’ve been worrying about my social media — is anyone seeing this? Is it good enough? Lots of comparison and self-doubt creeping in. I’d love your feedback — what do you want to see more of on my page?

“And Aurelia is in a real tricky phase. Everything’s wrong — clothes are too itchy, the bath is too bubbly, pasta is too wobbly, her smoothie isn’t pink enough… You get the picture.

“Most nights I end up in her bed to get her back to sleep and fall asleep there too. I love the cuddles, but I miss sleeping through the night!”

Call of Duty has had a long, varied history – while still maintaining its military first-person shooter roots.
