David Healy’s goal scoring exploits for Northern Ireland are to be recognized by the Uefa President Michel Platini.
Healy scored 13 goals for his country as they narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Euro 2008 finals.
Platini will present Healy with a special award before the friendly against Georgia at Windsor Park.
“His goal tally of 13 goals is a new record and deserves to be recognised,” Platini said. “I am sure that this record will last for some time to come. “This is why I will be presenting him with a special award to celebrate his fantastic achievement.”
Healy described the tribute as a “great award”.
“It’s a great honour. First and foremost I’m looking forward to meeting one of the greats of European and world football,” said the Fulham forward.
