‘Hopefully I can follow in his footsteps’ – A trip to Troy Parrott’s old school

The excitement that washed over O’Connell Secondary School in Drumcondra, Dublin, yesterday was palpable.

Fifth-year students were out on the astro pitch bright and early, re-enacting the iconic goal scored by past ­pupil Troy Parrott that has kept Ireland’s World Cup qualification dream alive.

School principal Liam Newell said Parrott’s raw talent was celebrated in the area long before Sunday’s hat-trick.
