Rob Heffernan got to see his son Cathal play for AC Milan over the weekend after previously being turned away from a game.
The five-time Olympian and his wife Marian jetted off for a Valentine's getaway earlier this year, but couldn't get into the stadium to see their son play.
When they arrived at the 1,200-capacity Peppino Vismara in the south of Milan, for an Under-18 game against Empoli back in February, a strict behind-closed-doors policy was in operation and they weren't allowed in.
