There was an Irish fan dressed as a leprechaun in the middle of the Swedish crowd

Legend.

IRELAND DREW THEIR Euro 2016 opener against Sweden in Paris this evening.

All the fans in the stadium were in full voice – as you would expect – but one stood out more than others.

And that was the Irish fan dressed as a leprechaun in the Sweden end

In a sea of yellow, he stoodout as being a gas ticket a mile away

And he’s now the first true fan hero of this campaign

Having the craic in the other team’s end
