VIDEO: Ireland fans sing The Fields of Athenry in Gdansk

They may be effectively out of the competition but, off the field, the Boys and Green have left a lasting impression on Euro 2012.

THANKS TO DAN Kerins, who captured this excellent footage of the atmosphere in Gdansk’s PGE Arena last night.

Ireland may have been hammered 4-0 by the reigning world and European champions Spain but their fans have been widely praised for the reception they gave both teams during and after the game.
