Parrott’s Last-Gasp Winner in Budapest

On Sunday, Troy Parrott delivered one of the most memorable moments in Irish sport when he scored a 96th minute winner against Hungary to send Ireland into the World Cup qualifying playoffs next March.

It was his 5th goal across just two games and in the space of just four days. After a dismal start to their qualifying campaign, the win in Budapest topped off a stunning week for Heimir Hallgrimsson’s team.

Gavin Cooney of The42.ie and former Ireland international Tony Cascarino spoke to Matt on Monday’s The Last Word.
