Finn Azaz spoke about former Cork star Brian Murphy and his Irish background after making his debut against Switzerland.

The 23-year-old made his international bow in the 87th minute, replacing Josh Cullen as Ireland desperately searched for a late equaliser against Switzerland.

His dad Tim, who grew up in Cork and went to school in Dublin, was at the Aviva to watch him on Tuesday.“My family is down in Cork. My great uncle, Brian Murphy, if you look him up, he was a famous hurler and dual with football. So it’s running in the family.” A high-profile move to Middlesbrough from Aston Villa in January likely boosted Azaz’s hopes of an international call-up.He has played two seasons in League Two with Cheltenham Town and Newport County.
