McClean, who is currently on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, was unable to attend the launch. However, he did find time to post a thank you message to everyone involved via his Instagram account.

"Proud to be recognised by the public in my own home town," said McClean.

"Honoured in great company with Phil Coulter and Roma Downey - thank yous."

McClean's wife, Erin, and their two young children attended the event in his absence.
