Jason Sherlock lifted out of the crowd to join Gardai in New York Parade

This is the moment All-Ireland winner Jason Sherlock was hoisted aloft by Gardaí and hauled into the New York City St Patrick’s Day parade in the Big Apple earlier today.

The Dublin football legend was lifted over the rail by Gardaí who had stopped to ask him for a photograph and was carried into the parade to chants of “Jayo, Jayo”.

Sherlock, who had a 15-year playing career with the Dubs, joined the march through the Streets of New York.

Bystanding New Yorkers can be heard asking as to who the man was, before an Irish voice confirms, “he’s a famous footballer in Ireland”.
