Furthermore, the brothers have Irish connections - including Mayo roots through their mother.
Their mother, Peggy, hails from Charlestown in Mayo and emigrated to Manchester at the age of eighteen before she raised her three sons - Paul, Noel and Liam. Their father, Tommy, is originally from Meath.
Since the news broke, the Mayo public were quick to react on social media.
