Going to the Oscars of football

Irish footballer Stephanie Roche on the surreal experience of going to the 2014 Fifa Ballon d’Or ceremony and meeting Cristiano Ronaldo. By chance the spectacular volley she had played in a minor league game was filmed and uploaded to the internet; it was picked up by FIFA and took second place in their best goal of the year competition, beating stars like Manchester United's Robin van Persie and Chelsea's Diego Costa.
