James McClean looks set to earn his 50th cap for Ireland against Mexico on Thursday.

He’s a man that loves playing for his country, needing no extra motivation when donning the green jersey.

He’s hit the headlines this week for his peach of a strike or for how candidly he spoke about playing for Ireland.

But through all this, he took a few minutes of his day to speak to the FAI YouTube channel to recollect on his time playing for the boys in green as well as doing a mastermind style quiz with the special topic being…James McClean.

“It’s a proud moment for myself,” said McLean “For my family, even my friends and people like that considering I made (my debut)… a few weeks short of my 23rd birthday.

“To get 50 caps in five years is a good achievement and hopefully get the 50th away and aim towards getting as many as I can.”

McClean then plays a game called How well do you know James McClean and is quizzed about his time in an Ireland jersey.

Who did he make his debut against? What number was he wearing? Who did he come on for?

Have a look at the video below.
