In the lead-up to the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualification opener against Hungary, the current squad were shown a video containing Irish legends.

Included in the video were the likes of Shay Given, Alan Kelly, Packie Bonner, Robbie Keane and Damien Duff as a way of motivating the current crop to lead Ireland to their first World Cup finals since 2002, and their first major tournament since 2016.
