CONOR McGregor is probably one of Ireland's most famous faces but this wasn't always the case.
While the UFC fighter - known as The Notorious - is currently enjoying his run on the celebrity circuit, the bearded Dubliner was an unknown, fresh-faced schoolboy once upon a time.
The Tallaght Echo shared this throwback photo on their Twitter account last night of the young McGregor.
With his bowl hair cut and cheeky grin it's hard to believe that this innocent-looking school kid would eventually be contending for title belts and find himself throwing punches in the ring.
