Niall Quinn scoring against Holland and the penalty shootout against Romania, it had a huge influence on my life and my thoughts going on beyond that.
So, 0-2, John, to play in a World Cup, I can't even tell you, John, it was so special to be part of that team.
Many great players that we had on that side, but it's something that I will always remember.
And look, when I'm 70, 80 years of age, I'll always remember being part of that Irish team in the World Cup in Japan and Korea.
Yeah, I mean, my brother and cousins came out to Japan and I always remember my brother, it's something that my brother would always say to me as well, his feeling of coming out to watch me at that World Cup.
I mean, he told me he was proud of me.
You know, I'd be pretty much of the mindset when you're talking to your siblings, when you're talking to my brother and my sister.
There's very little emotional time when we talk to each other.
But my brother got quite emotional and he's spoken to me since about it, coming out watching me playing at a World Cup.
It was nice.
I can't get away from that.
My brother and I watched Euro 88 together, seeing Ireland perform the way that they played and certainly the England game, the first half.
And then Italia 90, 94, when my brother had aspirations to be a professional footballer himself.
So, yeah, I think it's such a special part of my life, John.
That five, six weeks that I had in preparation for the World Cup, in arriving in Japan and Korea, Saipan even before, it was an amazing time and such a special experience for me personally.
And
As I said, it probably meant more to my family.
And I'm only starting to get the realization of that years later, I think, when I start to speak to people that went out there for it.
Look, I know that one or two have been mentioned recently, but in this region, watching back to Copa America, John, two years ago, I think Ecuador are strong.
I think Ecuador are a side that maybe are undervalued outside this region over here, certainly in South America.
