GOAL sits down with a card collector who has gone to great lengths to capture the Irishman's footballing history on wax

There have been plenty of exciting games and stellar individual displays over the last three weeks - but who has stood out the most?

UEFA has launched a formal investigation into allegations that Israeli players spat towards a Republic of Ireland coach during their Nations League fixture in Serbia. The European governing body appointed an ethics inspector following tunnel reports, whilst the Israel Football Association (IFA) firmly denied the claims.

Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has urged European football's governing body to prevent his side from facing Israel in future tournaments following two ill-tempered Nations League encounters. Both clashes were staged behind closed doors on neutral ground, with political tensions culminating in heated scuffles both on the pitch and inside the tunnel.
