After a lifetime of "pestering" from his father, Jamie Donley said it was a "really proud moment" for him and his family to make his Northern Ireland debut in the 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Friday night.
Or half of his family at any rate.
The Tottenham Hotspur forward joked that his mother was "not happy" with his decision to play for the country of his birth at international level after previously representing England youth sides.
The 20-year-old who is on loan at Leyton Orient spent the first few years of his life in Antrim, Northern Ireland before the family moved to Colchester.
