Wes Hoolahan: You just want to run around and do everything you can to get a result

Wes Hoolahan has been there before. Scoot back almost a dozen years and the Dubliner was an integral part of a superb Shelbourne side at the fag end of, what was at the time, the greatest European odyssey any Irish club had known.

Greats days and nights against KR Reykavik, Hajduk Split and Deportivo La Coruna had already been banked, the two-leg defeat to the Spaniards finally ending their Champions League aspirations and rerouting them into the Uefa Cup.

Lille would provide the full stop.
