James McClean is to fulfil 'a life-long dream' when he wins his 100th cap for the Republic of Ireland on Monday.
James McClean's former youth coach Raymond Carton at Trojans YCG said the 14-year-old skinny kid he coached back then has gone on to achieve great things and is fulfilling a "life-long dream" on Monday.
"Any prize event or parent's evening at the club, he will always send a signed shirt or a signed football to give out to young players here. "It is a hugely special moment for James and his family, but also for the people of Derry and, for sure, the people of Creggan," Mr O'Doherty told BBC News NI. He said that young man he witnessed that day is still the same humble man that will walk out in the Aviva Stadium on Monday.
