Hero.
The entire country was glued to the events at the Aviva on Monday night as Ireland secured their place in Euro 2016 following a deserved 2-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Amidst all the nerves, goals, cheers and celebrations, legendary defender Paul McGrath went out of his way to make it an extra special night for some Irish supporters after they reached out to him on Twitter during the match.
The former Man Utd, Aston Villa and Derby County defender was in the stadium on Monday night and he was more than happy to meet up with some of his fans who requested a photo with their idol.
A lovely touch from a truly special player and his kind remarks at the end only make the story better.
