Stephanie Roche may have narrowly missed out on becoming the first woman to win the FIFA award for goal of the year but she did grab the attention of the football's two best players.
The Irish footballer, 25, received more than one million votes for her extraordinary volley for Peamount United in front of 95 fans, pictured right, but lost out on the Puskas Award to James Rodriquez. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi could not hide their admiration for her as walked past them at last night's ceremony in Zurich. An extraordinary photograph showed the stars looked sheepish because it was clear they were looking at her figure. Miss Roche, who went to the ceremony with boyfriend Dean Zambra, retweeted the picture herself last night with caption: 'Ah lads!'.
