For The Day That's In It, Let's Relive The Most Irish Sporting Moment Of The Last Year

As the Irish crowd belted out Amhrán na bhFiann in the Aviva Stadium before kickoff against Germany, the cameras did their usual pan around to find some emotional singers.

They found one.

This proud fella have the camera a salute as it passed, and in stunningly Irish fashion everybody loved it.

This man loves a national anthem https://t.co/HYyEpnyGBN

I vividly remember the nerves I felt as that anthem played out as it was a huge truly game. Seeing that guy's quick 'how'ya' as the camera panned past made me actually laugh out loud. We put the post out at half time and the reaction was incredible.

So incredible, that we had to include him in the voting for Balls.ie Man Of The Year 2015, and he only went and won the whole thing.

Thanks everyone who voted for me for @ballsdotie Man of the Year. Bursting with pride I am. COYBIG Ireland for the Euros...and World Peace.

That's right. Our readers voted him ahead of Jon Walters for Balls.ie Man Of The Year.

What a legend.

Thanks to @The_Mason_85 for the clip.
