Fiorentina Fans To Show Solidarity With Ireland Over Thierry Henry’s Handball
The Viola faithful will unveil a pro-Ireland banner to welcome French side Lyon to the Franchi…
Italian boss Giovanni Trapattoni’s Ireland were cruelly denied a spot at South Africa 2010 after the Barcelona striker twice handled the ball in the build-up to William Gallas' goal during last week’s play-off tie in Paris.
Fiorentina fans have decided to show solidarity with the Irish people and their former boss when French outfit Olympique Lyonnais pay a visit to the Stadio Franchi on Tuesday night. Sky Sport 24 claims that the Curva Fiesole will display a banner reading "We are all Irish".
Fiorentina supporters still have fond memories of ‘Trap’, who was at the helm of the Tuscans from 1998-2000.
The Gigliati will progress to the last 16 stage of the Champions League if they defeat OL in the Group F clash.
