An image and short video of Tyrone's Niall Sludden in action has appeared on one of the giant billboards in Times Square ahead of the All-Ireland football final.
Brian McLaughlin, owner of Carragher's Bar in New York, is responsible for the image of fellow Dromore man Sludden.
"I wanted to bring a bit of Tyrone here to New York," he told the Irish News.
"The video is only about eight seconds long and you can't fit 25 faces on it, so I had to choose one player.
"With Niall Sludden being a Dromore man like myself and I also played with his father years ago, he was the one I chose. I contacted him for his permission and he was shocked.
"The billboard is about two blocks from my pub, already so many people will have seen his face flash up, which is great."
