Irish fans ask Andrea Pirlo to join their six-a-side team

TWO Irish soccer fans thought they'd struck gold when they bumped into Italian legend Andrea Pirlo.

Struggling to make up the numbers for their evening six-a-side game, they decided to ask the New York City star whether he’d consider joining them in this humorous encounter.

It’s not clear whether Pirlo accepted the offer, but we suspect he politely declined.
