The Academic have performed their own tribute to Ireland's newest hero, Robbie Brady. Brady scored the winning goal in Ireland's final Euro 2016 Group E match against Italy in Lille on Wednesday night. Brady scored with a header in the 85th minute of the tense game after a cross from Wes Hoolahan.
The result has secured Ireland's place in the last 16 of the tournament. A clash with host nation France awaits us on Sunday afternoon. The Academic have penned a cover of the Ronette's 1964 hit 'Be My Baby'. Since being uploaded to the band's Facebook page yesterday, its been viewed tens of thousands of time.
