It's a night that will probably take days and maybe even months to sink in, but eventually it will have a special place in Jon Walters' memory bank.
Fresh from scoring the double which secured a 3-1 aggregate win over Bosnia which sends Ireland to Euro 2016, the striker reacted to his heroics, describing it aptly as a special moment.
"These moments don't come round often in people's careers so to have this special group of players, family, wife and children in the stands watching. It's a very special moment," he told Sky Sports.
The Stoke City forward scored a penalty on 24 minutes to give Ireland the lead, showing cool at a pivotal moment before stepping up with 20 minutes to go to thunder in the crucial second goal.
What a legend this man truly is. Pack your bags, we are headed to France! #COYBIG #IREvBOS https://t.co/s1zPfPVyQ6 pic.twitter.com/MlcgPYaCHc
