[@gw8147]

June 1990, some of the happiest days of my life.

[@graemefarrell4983]

Love this tune its a hit..still sing it now..class

[@007therealjamesbond]

I was 8 in 1990 and it was just unbelievable. It changed the country, I think it helped start the boom. Good times

[@thebigloc1]

I was 6/7 them and I remember how big it was in my area that we made the world cup.

Jack Charlton becoming manager of the Irish soccer team was one of the very greatest happenings in the past 100 years, Jack change Ireland and the Irish people, people walked out of their homes, they left the doors unlocked, then went out in the streets to shout out loud, jumped and dancer around, they spoke to strangers, they wore the largest smiles ever seen on human faces, they ventured into foreign lands and went to watch the most English of games, soccer.

[@apjpisared]

Pretty sure Irish people have always spoken to strangers, we're often the only ones that do lol.

Lots of 90s references crammed into one song! Brings back alot of memories

[@Sean-k9d]

I'm like an Andy Townsend kind of Irish man living in England from my mother's side and why have I never heard this bit of excellence until recently. Hope he got more than the £1000 prize money

[@GregRogers-h8b]

[@johnmc3862]

True but that want original, it was old tunes cobbled together. Still a great song though.

Great times.

I remember it well. He probably was no singer' but gave it his all.😂

[@andyhello23]

Irelands best chance in a tournament in our lifes When you see england saying that they could of won world cup 1990 Ireland had just as much chance as england in that event, ireland lost to italy in rome in quarters, and the referee was totally on italian side, and could not let ireland play. Ireland were screwed over in that match, and it was great 4 years later we beat italy in new jersey Thats the only time when i watched football, that a referee was overtly conning the game in favour of one team. Thankfully argies beat them in next round, and west germany won overall. But ireland, had just as much chance of winning world cup 1990 as england did, and the english proclaim they could of won it. Back then england were no better then ireland. England have never beaten italy in major tournament football.

[@deniscarberry2608]

That's diffintly angelina ball in the middle of the band, before the commitments

[@eamonnca1]

Remember it well, but wasn’t terribly impressed by it. Put ‘em Under Pressure was the definitive tune of the time

Sadly that horrific ole ole chant wasn't left back in 1990
