One of the great FA Cup final goals to make it 2-2 here and a trademark Jimmy Hill roar to accompany it.
I can still name that Coventry team, you know.

A football club founded by an English member of the Conservative Party and prominent member of the Orange Order is not an Irish club.
A quick history lesson for you, mate.
Liverpool is the Irish Catholic club in the city of Liverpool.
The Kop was partly built using rubble from the Easter Rising and named after an incident which occurred during the Rising, at the suggestion of Irish Nationalist MP for Liverpool, T.P O’Connor.

With rubble from the Easter Rising.
That’s a myth.
Houlding (real name Sean O’Talamh) was actually a Fenian spy from Co. Tipperary who infiltrated the Tories and the Orange Order and passed valuable information back home to assist the fight for freedom.
Bought from a snake oil salesman if they believed it was being kept in storage during a ten-year period that Dublin was being rebuilt.
No it’s an actual historical fact. Is there any record to back up these outlandish claims that you’re making?
It was excellent rubble, the best rubble available, believe me, and it lasted tremendously well until the rebuilding of the Kop in 1994.
Yes - O’Talamh revealed all this in his will - or his “Liam” as he called it.
Liverpool FC also has a long association with our national airline and the Irish aeronautical industry. Keeping the flag flying high.
Where can one find actual proof of this revelation in the will?
