Lockdown Football Commentators

This week, Eric Molloy and Markus Poom on their footballing adventures in Poland and Estonia, as Stomil Olsztyn push for promotion to Poland's Ekstraklasa and Flora Tallinn look to retain their title in a top-flight where half the teams are from the capital.

Eric Molloy grew up in Carlow, and after spells at home with FC Carlow, Arklow Town and Wexford FC, won the OFC Champions League and played in the FIFA Club World Cup with Team Wellington, before this season's move to Poland.

Born in Derby, Markus Poom followed his legendary goalkeeping father Mart Poom while playing at the Rams, Sunderland, Watford and Arsenal. Now 21, the next gen Poom has already won the Estonian League crown twice with Flora, and is a full international.

Both speak about how the coronavirus crisis has upset their season.
