WATCH: Niall Quinn’s son proves the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with brilliant training video

Nailed it

Like father, like son.

If you’ve been following the Under 21 football championship, you may recognise the name Mikey Quinn. However, if you haven’t put two and two together yet, let us whip out our calculators and do the tricky sum for you. Dublin’s substitute goalkeeper is actually the son of legendary Republic of Ireland striker Niall Quinn.

But of course, if you read the headline you are already aware of this fact.

Well, Quinn Jr doesn’t just play GAA, he’s also a dab hand at that foreign game (there was no escaping it really). Although he also plays between the posts in soccer, Mikey uploaded a fantastic video from a recent training session showing that he’s pretty nifty using his noggin, just like his auld fella.

Well, maybe not exactly like his Dad…

Nailed it. #LikeFatherLikeSon
