The 'Ginger Mourinho' clearly had a positive impact on so many people.

Tully, who lived in Skerries, was a die-hard Bohs fan, and travelled the country to watch them play.

A number of League of Ireland fans are trying to organise a minute's applause at the 19th minute of every game this weekend, to celebrate the life of a proper football fan.

As well as Bohs, Tully loved Chelsea Football Club, who have since tweeted their sympathies.

Everybody at Chelsea Football Club is deeply saddened to learn that Chelsea fan Oran Tully has passed away. Oran was an inspiration when he visited us in 2013 and 2014 and made us all smile. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. Rest in peace, Oran. — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 27, 2018

Tully played for and coached with Skerries Football Club, who posted a lovely tribute on Monday morning, saying:

"It is with a heavy heart and deep deep sadness and tears, that we pass on the dreadful news of the passing of STFC player and coach Oran Tully late last night.

"Oran's love of football and infectious personality brightened up every Academy, camp or training session he was involved in, the kids simply loved him & truth be known, so did the adults.

"This is a truly sad day for our club and our deepest condolences & sympathies go to Martin, Clare, Dara, Conall and Orans family & friends.

"We will miss you wee man, rest in peace."
