"Ireland's hat-trick hero Troy Parrott has had hard time in his service in the green shirt but the Dubliner says there were tears of joy in the Irish dressing room after that remarkable World Cup win away to Hungary."
"Parrott emerged from the November window with a five-goal delivery in wins over Portugal and Hungary, the deadliest contribution from one Irishman in such a short space of time and, as he smiled at being told of updates from home, like Dublin Airport being renamed in his honour, he feels this experience will be hard to beat."
Troy Parrott had a difficult period in his Ireland service but became the hat-trick hero in a remarkable World Cup win away to Hungary. He scored five goals across the November window in wins over Portugal and Hungary, the deadliest contribution from a single Irishman in such a short span. Tears of joy followed in the Irish dressing room after the Hungary victory. He smiled at messages from home, including jokes about Dublin Airport being renamed in his honour. He says the experience and the emotional high of that run will be hard to beat.
