Our man in the van: Fans make most of Lille time before Italy clash

Never come between a man and his football.

That’s certainly the lesson taught by Corkmen Jonathan Foley, Eoin Donworth, Shane O’Reilly, Tom Good and Sam Hegarty outside the Tír na nÓg pub in Lille yesterday.

Their attendance at the Euros was only decided in recent weeks, but the ups and downs of their trip to the match tonight came at a personal cost for one of their group. “It all started in The Beer Garden [a pub near Turner’s Cross] before Cork City hosted Dundalk two weeks ago,” Jonathan said.
