On this day

If the game was early on a Sunday morning than I remember it but it could be my memory playing tricks on me.

100 years ago today Sir Henry Wilson got his dues.

It was a Friday morning, I remember leaving for school at half time, our teacher had a telly set up in the classroom and I arrived just on time to see the Ronaldinho free kick.

Well then I don’t really remember it !!

40 years ago today, 25 June 1982, Billy Bingham’s Ireland beat hosts Spain 1-0 to advance to the knock out stages of the 1982 World Cup.

100 years ago today the Irish Civil War started, with the Free State Forces shelling the Four courts with British artillery

More than 37 I’d guess.

Edit. It appears I’m wrong. 1985.
