SportsJOE’s 12 Photoshops of Christmas – Day 10

A 100 cap Irish soccer international becomes Buddy the Elf

Ben Kiely

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to score a dramatic late equaliser against the world champions on your 100th cap, just after being handed the captain’s armband

Merry Christmas Eve… Eve. We’re down to our last three Yuletide photoshops of the year. We kick off our trio of Christmassy edits with a former Manchester United defender had probably the best game of his career against the mighty Germans earlier this year.

The star of today’s photoshop had to go on an incredibly long journey to get here. He passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then walked through the Lincoln Tunnel. He also nutmegged Luis Figo somewhere along the way.

It is, of course, Paddy McGuinness… eh, I mean John O’Shea aka Buddy the Elf.
