    He was also excellent when he came on against the Mexicans in '94, unlucky not to score and provided the cross for Aldridge's consolation.
    that wasnt a consolation. remember "houghton paves the way, aldridge saves the day"

    A legend. His ability to perform karate kick style acrobatics on opponents had to be seen to be believed.

    Wow - many thanks, amazing stuff. For some reason, the way it was explained to me, I always thought it was off the ball!!!! So its not as bad as I thought!

    He was certainly dedicated.

    First time I've seen the karate kick. MacAteer had the knack to be totally focussed on the ball and make a collision look accidental, he failed spectacularily there, nothing less than GBH. But he succeeded to split Cocu's forehead at Landsdowne rd. having to make contact with a backhander from a difficult angle. He had perfected the look of contrite innocence.

    Did Goodman or David Kelly score the 2nd goal that day? McLoughlin got the first If I remember correctly.

    Just watching that video -the bare concept of the Orange Jersey-Black Shorts-Black Socks isn't a bad one at all if they'd just do away with the go faster stripes, the fluorescence and just use regular Orange (or is it some self deprecating Irish tarmaccers joke?)

    Some mop on Roy's head as well.

    Another problem with the orange jersey was that a robbery in the Umbro warehouse meant that 95% of people who wore the jersey got them through dodgy circumstances.

    Agree with others that I've no problem with a less cluttered, Netherlands-style orange jersey coming back at some stage.

    He also did a flying Steven Seagull style Karate chop in one of the games for the 2002 WC qualifiers. Think it was against Holland after he scored but could be wrong. Anyone remember which game it was I remember laughing with me mates particularly because of his previous exploits.

    A martial arts legend right up there with the likes of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Hong Kong Phooey.

    His "I'd rather buy a Bob the Builder CD for my two-year-old son" quote was brilliant.

    Also the Carlsberg ad:
    "Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
    "Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.

    Goodman went past a couple of defenders to set up Kelly to score from the edge of the area. McLoughlin scored the first alright with a diving header.
