Troy Parrott has become the name on every Irish fan's lips after a dramatic week that could shift the country's football fortunes. His last-minute winner against Hungary sealed a 3–2 comeback in Budapest and pushed Ireland into the World Cup qualifying play-off, their closest shot at the tournament since 2002.
The goal capped a hat trick on the night and followed two earlier strikes against Portugal, lifting the 23-year-old into rare territory for an Irish international.
