Rory McIlroy, Carl Frampton witness Northern Ireland make football history

McIlroy joins Frampton to witness NI history

Former world number one golfer Rory McIlroy joined boxer Carl Frampton at Windsor Park to witness Northern Ireland make football history.

Michael O'Neill's side earned a 3-1 victory over Greece to book their place in the Euro 2016 finals for the first time since 1986.

McIlroy, who now resides in Florida, was seated next to the IBF super-bantamweight champion to watch the match.

Frampton tweeted a picture alongside the golfer after the game, and added the message: "Bonjour lads #GAWA."
