Niall Quinn was renowned for being able to get a good head on things so learning to pour the perfect pint of Guinness should come naturally.
The former Ireland striker dropped into the Gravediggers Pub in Glasnevin, Dublin on Tuesday and was schooled on the perfect pour by manager Niall Kavanagh.
Perrystown man Quinn watched his son Mikey, a goalkeeper who spent last season at Cabinteely, graduate from Dublin City University with a degree in psychology on Tuesday.
And the pair celebrated by heading to Glasnevin's most famous pub to learn from the masters in how to pour the perfect pint, Dublin Live reports.
The pub tweeted the news on Wednesday morning, saying: "Legend overload, two Nialls behind the bar. Our legendary Niall The Manager Kavanagh giving a tutorial to football hero and gent Niall Quinn. Congratulations to Mike Quinn on graduation from DCU."
The Gravediggers was recently given the title of "Ireland's best Guinness" by Guinness guru Daragh Curran, alongside Bowe's on Fleet Street.
So it's natural that Quinn, who worked for a decade under the legendary Ireland manager and Guinness lover Jack Charlton, should seek out the best to learn his craft.
