What would be your World Cup
5:05
memories? The one, I've been to a couple of World Cups, but the memory for me with the Kevin Sheedy goal in Italia 90, I remember that meant, I was watching it on my own.

That meant so much to me.

I wouldn't go to the Pope.

to watch everyone was going to the pub but I said you're not going to see the match and my cousin was telling me that he missed the Kevin Sheedy goal because if you ever see the footage again it comes up as offsides or something that Ireland beat England 5-4 on offsides and it came up on the screen and he said everyone in the pub jumped up celebrating the offsides and then they missed the Kevin Sheedy goal so you know that used to annoy me going
