VIDEO: 7-year-old in Aviva crowd absolutely adored Jon Walters’ heroic hold-up play

This is what heroes do.

We don't know how you watched the final minutes of Ireland's 1-0 win over Germany but, if you were anything like us, it may have been behind their hands (or the couch). Tom Hendley and his seven-year-old son, Joe, were right in the mix, at the Aviva Stadium, last night and they roared the boys in green along, through every nail-biting minute. One of the best bits of this superb piece of fan footage is the heroic hold-up play down by the corner flag. The Stoke man was a menace to the Germans and helped chew down the final minutes, to a crescendo of cheers. https://youtu.be/uLnLUEWJNJw Walters, being the comedic legend that he is, was quick off the mark to contact his former Stoke City teammate, Robert Huth. https://twitter.com/JonWalters19/status/652245535068438529
