Martin Boyle has admitted he was 'buzzing' at pulling out his Australia World Cup Panini sticker from a packet.
The Hibs star looks a cert for Graham Arnold's Socceroos squad as they head for the finals in Qatar in November with at minimum three big matches with France, Denmark and Tunisia in their section. Playing in the biggest tournament in world football is a dream for the 29-year-old and in preparation he left Asda along with his daughter Amelia and a World Cup sticker album.
It is something the 29-year-old has been doing since he was a kid himself and he's started to make a dent in the latest book with six new packets of cards. It wasn't until the fifth pack reality sunk in with the Hibs star pulling HIMSELF. A real moment of realisation that he is in fact heading for the finals as he quipped: 'Imagine Messi doing it and getting me?'
