Whether he's on the pitch or on the bench when the Europa League theme tune belts out ahead of Dundalk's Group B opener against Molde at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday, Jordan Flores can afford himself a brief moment to look to the sky and be thankful for where he is in life.

It will be three years this Friday since the 25-year-old midfielder was involved in a potentially career-threatening two-car collision on his way to training with Chesterfield, where he was on loan from home town club Wigan Athletic.
