The face on this young Ireland fan when he got to meet his favourite player is just the best

“WHAAAAAAT.”

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Cathal Byrne is obsessed with the Irish soccer team.

Recently, he was brought into the Aviva stadium under the illusion that he was just getting a tour around the stadium and getting to see areas he wouldn’t as a regular fan.

But it turned out to be much better than that

At the start of the video, we find out from Cathal’s mam that he lives with a co-ordination disorder known as dyspraxia

When he’s brought into the press room by Three, he gets asked who his favourite player is

And he had no hesitation in naming goalie Darren Randolph

He’s going to be Ireland’s mascot at their next match, as well as getting to meet his hero.

Then they showed us a shot of Cathal watching the team train <3
