The look on young Cathal Byrne’s face is priceless.
When seven-year-old Cathal Byrne was chosen as the Three mascot for Ireland’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Austria this Sunday, his idol Darren Randolph got to deliver the news personally.
It was quite a moment.
Cathal lives with a co-ordination disorder known as dyspraxia but that doesn’t stop him dreaming of turning out for Ireland one day as a goalkeeper.
He was brought to the Aviva Stadium on the pretense that he would watch the team train and see where Martin O’Neill speaks to the press.
What Cathal did not expect was to meet the current Ireland and West Ham goalkeeper, and fellow native of Wicklow, Darren Randolph.
