QUINN TO SIGN OFF IN STYLE

Republic of Ireland striker, Niall Quinn, who celebrates his 35th birthday on Saturday, is desperate to sign off from his international career with one more trip to the World Cup finals.

"I had my day at the World Cup finals in Italy in 1990. But it would be great to finish my international career travelling to the Orient next summer," said Quinn.

"I will give everything left in the locker. When the fixtures for the Group Two qualifying games were announced two years ago, I noticed that the very last match was against Cyprus in Dublin.

"It would be lovely to score and who knows what might happen between Portugal and Estonia the same night to decide automatic qualification.

"But we will be ready for the play-offs."
