Christmas this year will be different for Seán Maguire, the change of season format in his career coinciding with a change in family circumstances.

The striker and his wife Claudia Rose are back in Cork for the festivities – the area he brands his happy place – and they’re all the happier for having six-month-old Romeo to dote on.
