What a fortnight that was.
And for giving us a bunch of incredible moments we’ll never forget – from the Hoolahan opener, to the Brady header that we’ll be talking about for generations – it’s only fair that they should get a heroes’ welcome.
And that’s exactly what they got today in Dublin Airport.
There was the anticipation…
