Cash told [url=][/url]that he had further cause for celebration, when Martinez presented
him with Messi's shirt.
'The best thing about it was after the game, Emi Martinez comes
up to me and says Cashy, I've got you a present,' Cash said.
'I was like "What could this be". He's said follow me in the tunnel,
he's gone in the changing room and said "wait there".
'He's walked out with a Messi shirt for me, brilliant.
'It doesn't get much better than that, seeing him in real life up close.
'I think he walked past me at half-time and I was looking at him like "that's Messi".'

Cash helped Poland reach the knock-out stage of the World Cup
for the first time since 1986
The Aston Villa defender made his 10th appearance for Poland in yesterday's group match.
Cash has established himself as Poland's right-back since
deciding his international allegiance lie with the nation last year.
The 25-year-old qualifies through his mother, whose parents are Polish.
Cash has played every minute for Poland so far at the tournament and will be expected to
line-up against French star Kylian Mbappe in the last-16.
The match will be Poland's first knock-out fixture at the World Cup since
1986. |
