Irish legend Paul McGrath surprises fans with pizza delivery

Irish footballing legend Paul McGrath gave thesefans the surprise of their life when he turned up up with their pizza delivery ahead of the Republic's first Euros game against Sweden. 

A group of ten mates were left gobsmacked when they answered the door to the pizza delivery guy, only to find the defender on the doorstep. 

Padraig Pendred had gathered his friends for the ultimate surprise ahead of the game.  He said: “My mates are the ultimate football and Domino’s fans, so I thought it was a great idea to surprise them.

"I invited them over for some pre-match pizzas and when the doorbell rang, we all dived for the door. When they saw Paul with the pizzas, it was hilarious!” 

Speaking about this summer's football, McGrath said: "It’s time for celebration. People are thinking back to ’88 and ’90 and across the country there will be street parties to show our pride and support for the Irish team.  

"It will be hectic in Ireland during the Euros.  While we’re going into this as the underdogs, we can beat these guys so they better bring their A-game as we’ll be bringing ours.  This is such a great time for family and friends and so what better way to celebrate than with a Domino’s!"

Paul has created his very own Domino’s Pizza Legend the ‘Ooh Ahh Paul Pizzahh’ with pepperoni, ham, chicken, onion and tomato with cheese on a classic base.  Fans can order the ‘Ooh Ahh Paul Pizzahh’ on www.pizzalegends.ie or create their very own Pizza Legend on the same site.
