WATCH: Literally nobody enjoyed Northern Ireland’s win more than Keith Gillespie

Loving life

Darragh Murphy

He’s played Premier League football for Manchester United, Newcastle and Blackburn but we’re pretty sure that the highlight of Keith Gillespie’s life arrived this week.

Now 41 years old, Gillespie is living the dream in Lyon after Northern Ireland earned their first ever points at a European Championships.

Michael O’Neill guided his side to a well-deserved victory over Ukraine on Thursday evening, doing no harm whatsoever to their chances of qualification to the knockout stages of Euro 2016.

And former Northern Ireland international Gillespie, who earned 86 caps for his country, adored every second of the win.

TalkSPORT’s Colin Murray, filmed his fellow Northern Irishman surfing a wave of fans who were left in dreamland on a historic night.
