Matt Doherty secured the biggest Irish transfer deadline day in years when he made the shock move on Tuesday from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid.
Signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season, he is the latest in a long line of Irish players to squeeze through a move in the nick of time.
It’s not Doherty’s first deadline day move - he went on-loan to Hibernian from Wolves in January 2012, after just two first-team appearances for the Molineux side.
