‘Rory Delass’ – Republic Of Ireland star Megan Campbell goes viral for insanely long throw-in against Lionesses

A Republic of Ireland player has left fans stunned after scoring an incredibly impressive long throw.

Megan Campbell was lining up for her country in the Euro 2025 qualifying clash against England when she went viral for a stunning throw.

Two thirds of the way up the field, the 30-year-old defender threw a throw into the Lionesses’ penalty area to wreak havoc in Sarina Wiegman’s defense.

Even though the Lionesses managed to clear their lines, that didn’t stop fans from being incredibly impressed with ITV declaring the throw to be a breathtaking 38 yards.

Campbell, who previously played for Manchester City and Liverpool, now plays for the London City Lionesses, but on social media fans have pointed out the similarity between his efforts and those of Stoke City cult hero Rory Delap, famous for his own throwing talent. .

One fan wrote: “Tony Pulis’ favorite player. »

Another said: “Do Stoke have a women’s team??

The similarity to Rory Delap was also not lost on a number of fans, with one writing: “The Rory Delap woman.”

Another wrote: “Megan Delap,” while another humorously wrote: “Rory Delass.”

“No matter how far you think this ball will be thrown, I promise it will be longer,” one final fan wrote.
