The 89-year-old died at home in Cabra on Wednesday after a short period of illness.
Since 1975 Tony has attended Dublin football matches dressed as the famous beautiful Molly!
Former Lord Mayor and Independent councillor Christy Burke said Mr. Broughan “really embodied the Dublin GAA”.
“Fans loved him and he loved them – the game was his life. We truly have lost a true blue Dub and follower of the GAA.”
