Derek Byrne and Adam Bollard won't forget Ireland's remarkable last-minute dash to glory - and not just because of Troy Parrott's hat-trick of goals. The Irish super-fans from Coolock, Dublin - who were also at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday to witness another Irish win for the history books when the Boys in Green beat Portugal 2-0 - have yesterday's heroics in Budapest etched both in their memories... and on their legs.
Troy Parrott completed a hat-trick with virtually the last kick of the game as the Republic of Ireland came from behind to beat Hungary and reach the World Cup play-offs in the most dramatic fashion. Having kept their dream alive with a stunning 2-0 win over Portugal on Thursday, Heimir Hallgrimsson's side needed a win in Budapest to secure a spot in the play-offs.
