Lots of Irish fans look up to Sean St Ledger. But Sean St Ledger looks up to one Irish fan in particular - the one who, er, cavorted with a topless Croatian girl in Poznan.
St Ledger headed Ireland level against Croatia in the Group B opener before the Irish dream fell apart with goals from Nikica Jelavic and Mario Mandzukic either side of half-time.
Despite that result the Irish supporters have maintained a celebratory tone throughout their time in Poland – and St Ledger has been getting in on the mood, with a picture which started doing the rounds on Twitter late on Monday night finding its most vocal advocate in the Leicester City defender.
He sent out a plea to find the identity of the heroic Irish fan at the centre of it – and having been given a name this morning he has kickstarted a bid to make him a trending topic on Twitter.
We tried our best to protect his privacy, but since St Ledger has blown his cover, we've no problem in telling Davy Keogh to move over, because Eamonn Keegan from Sallins in Co Kildare is now Ireland's best known fan.


One of the first topics of conversation in the JOE office this morning was the possibility that Eamonn might have a soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend back at home, but his brother Killian has assured us that he's free and single.
And Eamonn is not only a hero for Sean St Ledger and thousands of Irish supporters, he's also lucky enough to have a fairly liberal-thinking mother by the sounds of it.
