Shane Long has slammed Ireland manager Stephen Kenny for "embarrassing and degrading" him during the early days of his managerial reign.
Appearing on his wife Kayleagh's podcast (‘Kay And Ash, Share Your Voice’ Podcast), Long recounted a tale from early in the Kenny era where veteran members of the squad were asked to present new Ireland players with their first jerseys.
Initially on board with the idea, Long was furious when he realised that Norwich City star Adam Idah was awarded the number nine shirt ahead of his first International cap, a low moment in his career that Long says "stands out."
