He was a fabulous player at the time.
Benfica were the top team.
Anyway, so I saw that one.
I was at that one.
I was at a few others.
I was at 1990, obviously.
We had to win the league and I got down to...
the Irish games I missed the match the first match in Sardinia but it was at the two games in Palermo the next two the Egypt Netherlands Netherlands Egypt yeah in Egypt brutal awful dreadful game roasting hot big open stadium the other game the 1-1 I remember all the
I was in among the FAO officials at the time and I remember their tears of joy that we got through the 1-1.
Now, the Queen's goal after 71 minutes and then neither team played.
Both teams needed to get through with the draw and the match was... But I remember the joy around me of the officials...
But at the time I was thinking, I feel this joy every week I get away with Pats and with the supporters, that they hadn't ever had that joy before.
These were grown men around me crying at the idea of the joy that Ireland had got through to the next stage.
And, you know, it almost surprised me, you know, because...
my passion for the game at that time was about winning matches trying to win games with whatever team I was involved with and we were we were winning a few and fortunately we'd won the league that year which was it was absolutely brilliant Pat's had won nothing since the Cup in 61 but the league
It was 1956, so it was a great time.
So I went down there and spent a couple of weeks celebrating that, enjoyed the games, but I hadn't got the same passion for it about the Irish team at that time, Jack Charton's time, as many other people had.
You know, the football was dreadful, but we all enjoyed the ride.
Yeah, I was enjoying the stadium.
That was a great day.
