Her mum was from Cape Verde.

This is the stuff that you don't see, David, that he does outside of the game.

And his work with us is hugely important for the professional players in Ireland.

And what he's done is shown a light on our game here.

And I listened to Talk Sport this morning.

You see Zlatan and all these other people talking about it.

But it's talking about Seán McGrath.

It's talking about the League of Ireland.

It's talking about our product here.

And he is the production of that product.

And that's a huge thing that probably we lack that coverage, David, at times, particularly from a global perspective.

And I think what Pico's done is he's shown the light on the league and obviously on himself.

I think that's what happens, David.

I'd say Pico's story would have gone under the radar if we hadn't managed to get there.

But because he is Irish, obviously he's been born in Ireland.

His dad, Carlos, is obviously from Cape Verde.

I was lucky enough to be at his wedding in Portugal two years ago.

And Judy, his mum, they're an amazing family.

Amazing family to get to know.

He's a very tight-knit friend as well, David.
