Pic of Ronnie Whelan Sr.

[theworm2345]

I figure this could have gone in Ireland or St. Pats, but I wasn't sure. I need a pic for a new update my video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqRP6ZBI5nM).
It can be playing, coaching, or just standing around (a pic like the video), or a pick with Ronnie Jr would be good I guess too.
Thanks

Yeah, thats why I need the picture

if ya cant get one online theworm give Pats a buzz (01 4546332) and ask for Pat O Callaghan, he's sorta the club historian and would be the best bet.

Great vid, Worm, could feel the memories welling up behind my eyes.

At the risk of sounding the pedant, when you have the first Maradona picture up, yer man is actually saying "Maracana", which is the big Brazilian ground, in Rio I think.

That would be a bit hard as I am in Chicago

Now I'm not so sure. This is in this verse?
Dasaev, Sócrates,
Maradona, Ardiles,
Puskas, Bessonov,
Rene van de Kerkhof,
Hamilton, Jim Magee,
Saint And Greavsie on TV,
Maradona, Hand of God
Brady should be in the Squad
I would kind of doubt it because they are naming players right there

that video brought a lump to my throat,hopefully we won't have too long a wait for more memories like those

[Bluebeard]

The Memories were very clever writing the song in not in the sense of never having non-Irish players mentioned more than once, and if two lines feature one player, e.g. Pele, they will be coniguous - listen carefully and you will hear what does sound like Mara-dona - it is a poorly pronounced Mara-cana. (The Memories were not very clever at singing). Similarly, you will notice that, unlike the Billy Joel track it is based on, there is really very little link between one line and the next (The Memories were not very clever at writing songs cleverly) or indeed between names in the same line that may happen to fit together (Eh, the Memories were not very clever at footballing history). The whole thing does what it should - it simply conveys a footballing atmosphere by using well known names (The Memories were very clever at marketing).

In short - yis are all wrong, and I'm right!

Still a great vid.

OK, which line are you talking about, so I can check?

[Bluebeard]

It comes on 1m57s, after the second chorus with "Daseyev, Socrates, Maracana, Ardiles / Puskas, Besanov, Rene Van Der Kerkov / Hamilton, Jim Magee, Saint & Greavsie on TV / Maradona, Hand Of God, Brady SHould be in the squad.

And to be a right pric- sorry, pedant, on 2m22, I think that it is meant to be "Pele, number 10, we'll never see his like again, Goycochea's meaner, Champions Argentina" which would allow Gorbochev to take his rightful place else where. Goycochea was the Argentine 'Keeper, I think he got injured early on in the tournament, or beforehand, perhaps. And I'm bloody certain he doesn't spell his name this way either.

Alright, I'm going to play it back in slow motion and see

[theworm2345]
