This is the third and final part from our John Giles Night Of Celebration, a very special tribute held before a select audience at Dublin's Sugar Club.

In part one, John told Nathan Murphy and Eoin Sheahan about his own beginnings in the game - you can hear that part here.

The second part saw John joined by his former Leeds United teammates Eddie Gray and Joe Jordan, and that part is available here.

Here in part 3, former Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr, and the ghost-writer of John's autobiography - Declan Lynch - help to contextualise John's significance in Irish life.

And we also have tributes from across football, led by the President, Michael D Higgins. We'll also hear from Liam Brady, the Chief Executive of the FAI, former Ireland boss Stephen Kenny, our erstwhile colleague Kevin Kilbane, John's nephew John Stiles and Dr. Alan Byrne.
