PICS: We gave 9 of Ireland’s greatest sporting legends an emoji makeover and it makes us :-)

The Notorious

Carl Kinsella

Recognise any of these faces?

Today we discovered that there’s a website that will turn any image into a mosaic of emojis.

We wanted to see what some of our Irish sporting heroes would look like if they were made of emojis, and the results are nothing short of astounding. Mixed results, but astounding all the same.

Take a look, and click the images to get a full view to see what these legends are made of when it comes to emojis.

Conor McGregor – pretty solid effort.
