As part of Three’s #TheCallUp campaign, the West Ham stopper caught the seven-year-old completely off-guard after showing up in the press conference room at the FAI’s National Training Centre in Dublin.
Cathal, who lives with a co-ordination disorder known as dyspraxia, is a keen footballer and explained to Randolph that his favourite position is between the sticks.
And the Boys in Green fan couldn’t believe his luck when his fellow Wicklow native revealed that he will be leading the Ireland team out at the Aviva Stadium as mascot for this Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Austria.
Young Ireland fan is absolutely made-up after surprise visit from Darren Randolph
