Cult heroes continue to inspire this Northern Ireland team, and they have found another with goalkeeper McGovern.
Without a club and barely known outside the Scottish top-flight and in his home country, he produced one of the outstanding individual displays of the tournament to keep Germany to just one goal, which subsequently enabled the minnows to progress to the last 16.
Thomas Muller won’t have thanked him as he denied the forward three times with brilliant saves. No wonder he left the game with Manuel Neuer’s shirt.
Following Turkey’s victory over Czech Republic, Northern Ireland have now booked their spot in the last 16.
