There was a time when being a ballboy or a mascot at a major football match would've really meant something to a kid.

Only a couple of days ago, we saw one young mascot waiting for the perfect moment to wink at a TV audience of millions ahead of Iceland's match with Hungary.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was the turn of one of the ballboys at Northern Ireland's crunch meeting with Germany to make waves on social media.

Essentially, bend your arm and make it look like you're trying to sniff the crease of your elbow and you're a pro.
