Dunne mentions Andrews in the documentary making some excellent blocks. The game was on while I was at work, so I didn't see much of it.Quote:

McGrath in Euro'88 was inspired.
And Brady carried the whole team on his day...
Yeah, those 3 games stand out for best individual performances, possibly also Keane against Portugal in Dublin.Quote:

Keane was magnificent that day. He was the only one who was even likely to get the goal as well.Quote:

He was no Tony Grealish.
And he was no Eddie McGoldrick.Quote:
