Paul Brennan from fair city got laid that night! Nice one Paul.
McGrath, Townsend, Staunton, Houghton – Aston Villa.
think it was the sound tech tbh
Typical.. fucking ruined both anthems
hahaha look at Houghton and Staunton with their baseball caps on with the peaks flat. back in the days when nobody shapped the pak of the cap. they look like 2 American idiots working at an ice cream parlour lol
I just can’t get over Steve Staunton wearing a hat
Looking back, that Italian team was packed with absolute legends. Baresi, Donadoni, Albertini, Baggio – some team!!
Consummate professionalism from Ireland as always.
We’ve always had some great matches against the Italians.
McGrath <3
The band could have played every note perfectly, I’m pretty certain they still wouldn’t have got past Paul! 😀
hear hear
Happy Birthday man! Let’s win it tonight!
Yeah I noticed that aswell. But at around 0.55 he’s walking on the pitch with the green kit on him.
That band is balls bad
stan leaves his cap on for the anthem. jaysus!
Snap!!! same here 18th of June……It’s gonna be our 28th birthday when we play them again this year in Poznan for Euro 2012
This band is total shite. Completely fluffed the anthems. Luckily the Irish fans sang at the correct speed.
Irish team photo was of only 10 men at 5:35, Terry Phelan was in the dressing room changing. Reason he was in the dressing room, was because, the lads thought that they were earing white that day, and saw the Italians in the tunnel wearing white…….There was a mad scramble back to get changed into the green kit. Think it helped take a bit of the edge of before the match……
i now realise why the italians lost the band played their national
anthem at the wrong speed
this was on my 10th birthday, most memorable day of my childhood
What a piece of history beating the Italians, theyre going to get another dose of it next summer in poland, but the anthems in usa 94 were way to slow!
we sing the anthem the way we want hahahah class.
