Troy Parrott admits he may never be able to fully understand the magnitude of his World Cup playoff clinching winner in Hungary Budapest on Sunday.

Parrott supplied all of Ireland’s goals in the 2-0 and 3-2 victories over Portugal and Hungary, snaffling second place in the group that secured a semi-final away to Czechia on March 26.
