The Rep of Ireland was in football doldrums in the 1970's and 80's, watching the great Northern Ireland team in the 1982 World Cup was hard as we could never get there. But Jack changed all this when he came along. The 1990 World Cup was the peak for Sporting achievements in Ireland as far as I am concerned and i still get a buzz when looking back at the highlights.
