The Official TFK Greatest Day in the History of Irish Sport Thread

I don’t think we’ll ever see anything like Italia 90 ever again. The innocence and novelty of it all made it unsurpassable really.
The penalty shoot was the peak of it so I agree with @Fran

Michael Carruth and Wayne McCullogh in 1992.

Alan McLaughlin goal versus those horrible bigoted players and management in 1993 in Windsor Park to send us through the World Cup in USA 1994. The promise of the draw, pre tournament friendlies, sticker albums, constant updates from the camp while the British TV channels and journalists jump on the bandwagon as none of their nations were good enough to qualify.

The 'Lockes winning the Intermediate in 1993 v Thomastown. Some day, some craic! A bouy Butty!!

Ireland beat England in the Cricket World Cup that day as well.

I’m really starting to get this rugby thing, it really unifies the diaspora, and the fact it gets right up the noses of roasters and drives them ape makes it even better, I must brush up on my rugby terminolgy

The Sports Illustrated picture of Delaney in the previous page is the head of Christy Dignam

This or the 1999 triumph are the undoubted frontrunners here.

Croke park v England 07, not every day that a whole country gets to mature as a nation by standing still and shutting up. The dockers and doctors stood in silent rapt attention for lizzie.

I was away for the whole of 99 so didn’t get to see any of it sadly. Actually couldn’t tell you who they beat the same day

Mullinavat. Held them scoreless in the second half too. Great year that.

September 1st, 1996.

1978 when Munster beat the All Blacks

“Clones Collosus” Kevin McBride battering “Iron” Mike Tyson into submission after 6 grueling rounds.

I’ll never forget the tears in Sir Anthony O’Reilly’s eyes that day as he reverently sang God Save The Queen.
