Paddy McNair (Northern Ireland)
With Northern Ireland making history by qualifying for their first major tournament since 1986 with a 3-1 win against Greece on Thursday night, you couldn’t really look past the young defender.
In a group where they were expected to finish in a play-off place as the best possible scenario, Michael O’Neill’s men ended up winning Group F by a point.
The United youngster played 85 minutes of the win against the Greeks, but the 20-year-old suffered a ruptured liver in his nation’s draw against Finland on Sunday evening, meaning he has spent the last three nights in a Helsinki hospital.
