O'Connell 'an extraordinary player and person'
Sir Ian McGeechan gives his tribute to the retiring former Ireland captain Paul O'Connell.
McGeechan was coach of the British and Irish Lions when O'Connell captained the side during the 2009 tour of South Africa.
Despite being 2-0 down in the Test series, McGeechan says O'Connell's presence played a key part in one of the great Lions victories in the third Test, a 28-9 win in Johannesburg.
