Wes Hoolahan shows real class after accidentally hitting girl before Georgia game

Attaboy, Wes

As if you needed another reason to love Wes Hoolahan.

An unfortunate Ireland fan got a rather nasty surprise before the team’s crunch Euro 2016 qualifier against Georgia in the Aviva stadium.

The girl was sitting in the stands when she was reportedly walloped by a wayward Wes Hoolahan shot during the pre-game shooting practice.

However, after noticing that the supporter had been struck, Hoolahan made everything all better by pulling a Lukaku.

Romelu Lukaku, of course, did a similar gesture after his wild effort hit a fan while warming up for Everton at the beginning of the season.
