Eoin Morgan’s a brilliant human being. We love him, and here’s a few reasons why…

He represents the best in all of us.

“We had Allah with us as well.”

He’s humble (not in the way he has to be as an international captain – he actually is).

He remembers his roots (watch until the end to see two Irishmen absolutely buzzing having watched England win the World Cup, for reasons even they don’t seem to truly understand).

He’s a brilliant captain, on the pitch, as well as off it.

“He often said during the game, ‘you’re the best in the world at that point.’ To have your captain say that to you gives you a little bit of a spark.”
