Nesbitt decked out the entire Il Pontile Bar in the fashionable Costa Smeralda resort – the set of Roger Moore’s ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ James Bond film from 1977 – with flags and other memorabilia dedicated to Michael O’Neill’s history makers.

The star of the big screen was on the Italian island to support a UNICEF golf tournament being hosted by fellow Ulsterman Darren Clarke.
