IRELAND HAS A great relationship with major football tournaments – when we get to them that is.

Euro ’88, Italia ’90, USA ’94 and Korea-Japan ’02 provided sports fans, young and old, with precious memories and some special goals and results. If Trap’s Army can perform as well as Jack’s and Mick’s, we could be in for a special summer.

But we’re wondering if the starting XI and the rest of the squad have made as much of an impression as Ray Houghton, Paul McGrath, Packie Bonner et al did over two decades ago.
