"There's only one Ruby Walsh" Irish fans chant after spotting champion jockey on Ryanair flight

IRISH football fans were so delighted after spotting  Ruby Walsh on board their flight to France that they broke into song.

The Ryanair flight, which was filled with Ireland supporters on their way to the Euros, was also carrying champion jockey Walsh, who was on his way to ride Un De Sceaux in the French Champion Hurdle in Auteuil.

The whole airplane full of passengers began chanting "there's only one Ruby Walsh" in honour of the racing star, who had failed to board the flight incognito.

Judging by his reaction, the jockey found the whole experience both funny and mortifying at the same time.

After one fan uploaded the video to Facebook, it has been viewed over 40,000 times.
