History is within Conor Coventry’s grasp, both as the record caps holder and skipper of the first Ireland team to reach a qualification playoff.

On Friday against Bosnia-Herzegovina, the West Ham United midfielder will equal Graham Barrett’s haul of 24 appearances and is due to surpass it on Monday when they host Montenegro.
