Not many Irish football fans would know who Ian Daly is, but he could go some way to changing that if he collects his first cup winner's medal today.
The 20-year-old striker plies his trade in Greece with Aris Thessaloniki and goes into today's Greek Cup final against Panathinaikos hoping to pick up his first piece of silverware.
In order to understand how a kid from Ballinteer, Dublin ended up in Athens preparing for the biggest match of the Greek season, one must rewind a few years.
Having impressed for Home Farm as a schoolboy, Daly was snapped up by Manchester City in 2006. As he worked hard in the club's youth and reserve teams, it was on the international stage where he was making the most progress.
During a tournament in Germany for the Republic of Ireland Under 17's, the lanky frontman was one of the stand-out players and caught the attention of several scouts that saw him in action against Germany, Scotland and Greece.
Not long after that tournament ended, Daly discovered that his contract with City was not going to be renewed. So he went in search of a new club by undergoing trials with Wigan Athletic and Leeds United before taking a risk and setting off for the south of Europe.
Officials from Aris had been in touch with his agent and offered him the chance to test himself in the second largest city in Greece. He did enough to impress the coaching staff and agreed to sign on for his very own Greek Odyssey.
While he has yet to hold down a regular place in the first-team, Daly has enjoyed his debut season with the 'God of War' and thinks the switch has helped him to improve as a player.
'We are having a pretty good season, although we should probably be doing better in the league,' said Daly.
'It is more of a footballing league. Obviously England is as high as you can get but it's more technical in Greece. You are popping the ball around and it's not a case of booting the ball up.
'The standard is good and it's great to be in a competitive league with good fans and the chance to play in Europe.'
Aris wrapped up their league duties last weekend by finishing fifth in the Greek Super League, which is enough to send them into a play-off to contest the second Uefa Champions League qualifying place on offer.
But the most important game of the season arrives today as the club attempt to win the cup for only the second time in their history - having last won it in 1970.
The pressure of playing for such a big club has not overwhelmed Daly despite turning up to see 25,000 fans at every home game. In fact, not much has phased the Dubliner since making the move.
Even the language barrier, which should have been the most difficult obstacle to overcome, has not proved to be troublesome. There might be up to 10 different nationalities in the team's dressing room at any one time, but he never feels out of place.
But surely the Ireland Under 21 international spends most of his time away from the training pitch taking lessons in Greek?
'I don't take any lessons. The Greek public tend to speak good English and then on the team there are only six or seven Greek players - the rest are Argentinean or Spanish. I'm concentrating more on learning Spanish,' he explained.
'[The manager Hector Cuper] gives his team talks in Spanish. We have a translator who primarily translates into Greek.
'But a lot of the players speak good English, like Mehdi Nafti, who was with Birmingham, is fluent in Spanish and English. He was good to have around at the start.'
So let's get this straight - here is an Irish striker playing for a team in Greece that is managed by an Argentinean, who gives his team talks in Spanish. To say it is a bizarre situation to find himself in would be a massive understatement.
Yet he is loving life in Thessaloniki and homesickness is not a problem as he learnt how to adapt to his foreign surroundings when he spent three years in Manchester.
The only problem he has now is breaking into the starting 11, which is proving to be quite a challenge as his run in the team earlier in the season was disrupted by an ankle injury.
The timing of that injury meant he slipped further down the pecking order as Cuper recruited the American duo of Eddie Johnson (Fulham) and Freddy Adu (Benfica) on loan just when Daly was ruled out for a month.
'You are always going to have competition for places wherever you go,' said the Dubliner.
'Obviously Adu is a left-side attacker as well, but I believe I can get back in if I keep going.'
A positive outlook and things could get even better if Aris lift the cup.
