PIC: Young Shane Lowry perfectly captures what childhood was like in 1990s Ireland

Pride of Offaly

If there is anyone who could drop us in a can of Lilt, we’d be ever so appreciative.

Suddenly, after seeing Shane Lowry with the iconic Caribbean-inspired drink in his hand, we’re feeling totally tropical.

The Clara man has come a long way from being the son of Offaly football legend Brendan to one of the best golfers in the world.

The world number 31 sunk a hole-in-one at the US Masters over the weekend, which almost made up for his weekend collapse after a glorious opening day at Augusta.

He  even got married in New York this week and we hope the wedding had a nineties theme.

We’ve come across a picture shared by the Club Faithful Instagram account of a very youthful looking Lowry, and if you can find a more 1990s child than young Shane, with his tin of pop, short pants, GAA jersey, and junior Adidas Predator boots, then you deserve the can of Lilt over us.

If anybody has any other pics of international superstars as kids then we’d love to see them, cans of Lilt optional.
