This would be incredible!
Right now, Nathan Collins' focus is Ireland and Brentford, with the centre back captaining both sides.
And this will be his focus for at least the next decade, as the Leixlip man is still just 24.
However, in an interview with the BBC, he spoke about his early roots in the GAA and the possibility of returning to the sport at some point.
He said: "I played a lot of Gaelic football as a kid. I would have trained football twice with my team during the week, then I would have trained twice with my Gaelic team, then I had a football match on the weekend and then a Gaelic match on the weekend.
"So my parents would drive me to my match, watch that match, finish that match, go home, eat something really quick, straight back out the door for another match and then they’d go to the pub and relax.
"They were finished with me then, they were happy!
"I was alright... I was not bad. When I was that age, I was bigger than everyone. I’d have been able to run over everyone, so I had that advantage. I’d love to go back and play one day or when I finish football. I really enjoy it."
