Martin O’Neill urges Hoolahan to forget about retirement

After seeing the Norwich playmaker give a command performance against Slovakia on Tuesday, the Ireland manager was clearly taken aback to learn the player had earlier indicated he would consider his future in the green shirt after the Euros this summer.

“There are a few senior players in the squad and I’m one of them,” the Dubliner said in an interview.
