Video: Aston Villa's Leandro Bacuna sends video message to Irish pageant hopeful

Leandro Bacuna appears at Irish pageant

Aston Villa's Leandro Bacuna made a surprise appearance at Ireland's annual pageant the Rose of Tralee.

The 23-year-old recorded a video message for the Germany Rose Roisin Ni Mathuna after it was revealed that she and her father are Villa supporters.

During Roisin's spell on stage, the FA Cup, which Villa missed out on winning when they lost to Arsenal in last season's final, was rolled out.

The pageant hopeful also received a message from Bacuna, but it appears that Roisin was unaware of who the Dutchman was when he appeared on screen.
