Duff was one of the most inconsolable Irish players in the wake of Ireland’s controversial World Cup play-off defeat to France.

And Greening admits that the Dubliner’s penchant for a practical joke has made him a target for some good-humoured ribbing in recent days.

The ex-West Brom man said: “Damien was pretty low when he came back from France so to help him we have given him some stick.

“A few of the boys asked him why he cried on the pitch. But if it was my last chance to play in the World Cup I would be upset. He likes to take the mickey, so he is getting a bit back. He’s a great character and he will bounce back.”
