Nathan Collins

BORN: April 2001

CLUB: Wolverhampton Wanderers

Remember When: He went full Maradona against Ukraine

Bio: Earmarked as a natural leader from a young age, Collins always felt destined to become a full Ireland international.

His dream came true in the 3-0 centenary win over Qatar in 2021 and by the summer of 2022 he was catapulting himself into the big time with some exceptional Nations League performances – one of which saw him score that goal against Ukraine.

Now a Premier League regular with Brentford, Collins continues to work on his weaknesses in an attempt to become a top-tier centre-back.
