Gokhan Tore was also with his nation - Turkey - and enjoyed meeting the country's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Back in Ireland, Randolph offered some congratulations to former Hammer and Boys in Green skipper Robbie Keane, who bowed out of international football with a goal against Oman

And while the Premier League sides enjoyed a break on the pitch, they were certainly busy off it as the transfer window slammed shut. The Hammers did some great last day business, bringing experienced defender Alvara Arbeloa to the Club
Dimitri Payet, building his fitness up, was twice in action for France, playing as a substitute in their fixtures against Italy and Belarus
Sofiane Feghouli remained at West Ham during the break as he regained his fitness, but wished his Algeria teammates luck
