How did Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, a World Cup winner worth €120m, end up on the Clontarf Road hailing a taxi to the airport after spending a day in Greystones preparing for last summer’s Copa America?

It’s a long story and Fearghal Kerin is happy to tell it. A week when Shamrock Rovers are preparing to descend on Stamford Bridge is the appropriate moment for a high achiever from Offaly to open a window to the world that he has been working towards since the last time the Hoops met a Premier League team in Europe.
