Cork's Adam Idah making headlines
Corkman Adam Idah was one of the biggest stars of the FA Cup third round.
The Douglas native started for Norwich City away to Preston North End on Saturday, just his second start in a Canaries shirt.
And the 18 year old grabbed the opportunity with both hands, scoring two sublime goals and a penalty on the way to his hat trick.
The former College Corinthians striker opened the scoring with a cool finish.
