WATCH: Robbie Brady surprising one of his biggest fans will absolutely warm your heart

Alan Loughnane

If you needed a pick-me-up today, this is it…

Ireland take on Iceland in a friendly on Tuesday evening in the Aviva Stadium with Martin O’Neil’s side hoping to return to winning ways following last week’s draw with Wales.

It’s going to be a special day for one person in particular on Tuesday, and that’s young Ireland fan Andrew Whelan.

Andrew is a huge fan of Robbie Brady, so much so that for Christmas, he received tickets to go and see Robbie play for Norwich.

Unfortunately for the young fan, Robbie would transfer to Burnley just a few days later and Andrew would not get to see him play.

But thankfully, all’s well that ends well, as Andrew was selected to be a mascot for Ireland’s clash with Iceland this week and should hopefully get to see Robbie line out on Tuesday.

The Ireland star took some time out his day to surprise Andrew recently as part of Three’s #TheCallUp campaign, and left the young fella speechless.

A nice moment…
