Troy Parrott had a hard time at Tottenham.
Ireland came from behind to win 3-2 in the final Group F match of the 2026 North American World Cup European qualifying round at Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary on the 17th (Korea time). Ireland, who won with Parrott's miraculous theater goal, advanced to the European playoffs and continued their hopes of reaching the World Cup.
Ireland were dragged away when they lost a point in the fourth minute of the first half, but Parrott equalized in the 15th minute of the first half. In the first half, the goddess of victory did not seem to hold Ireland's hand. In the 37th minute of the first half, Hungary ran away again, and Ireland's World Cup hopes seemed to disappear.
The hero who saved Ireland was Parrott. Parrott revived Ireland's hopes when he equalized in the 35th minute of the second half. Ireland, which could rise to second place only if it won, somehow needed a come-from-behind goal. Just before the end of the game, Parrott scored a theater goal of tenacity, turning Ireland upside down.
In an interview with the BBC on the 18th, Parrott, the hero who saved Ireland, said, `There is a reason for last night's celebration. Until now, my career has never been easy. I've taken a lot of risks in the process of moving somewhere else. I failed and got back on my feet. I failed again and got back on my feet. Who can say that I will not fail in the future?" he confessed to the reason why he shed overwhelming tears.
Parrott was originally a highly anticipated player at Tottenham. It was evaluated as the second Harry Kane, and it looked like it would be used frequently in Tottenham's first team, but it was not. Because Tottenham really had Kane and Son Heung-min. In the 2021-2022 season, he began to show his skills as he left for MK Dons (then in the third division), but there was no place at Tottenham.
Parrott received attention when he crossed the league's 10-goal mark for the first time when he was loaned to Excelsior (the Netherlands) in the 2023-2024 season, but Parrott decided to leave, not remain at Tottenham. There was still Son Heung-min at Tottenham. Parrott grew into one of the best strikers in the Dutch league after leaving for AZ Alkmaar. He is also having the best season of his life this season, scoring 13 goals and two assists in 14 games.
Parrott must have been really difficult to leave Tottenham and move to the Netherlands. He "I think the rough path I've gone through has definitely affected last night's moment. Coming over to the Netherlands, I felt 'the player I wanted' and I felt respected. Sometimes that's enough for a player," he confessed, adding that he was not treated properly at Tottenham.
He also said "I know my days playing for England didn't work out, and I blamed myself a lot at the time. So when I thought about leaving abroad 'What's the worst case?I thought ' I really like it now,' he confessed that he left Tottenham well.
