The first word you see on Bosun Lawal’s Instagram profile is grateful. When the Ireland U-21 defender puts his green jersey on next Friday in San Marino, his mind won’t be too far from his parents back in Blanchardstown.
Back at his family home, they will watch this latest Euro 2025 qualifier with immense pride. The truth is, they are the reason he plays football. They are the reason he’s reached this point in his flourishing career.
