Time to revisit Irish glory days
I’ve just been revisiting Italia ‘90, in the form of a glorious highlights reel which was originally assembled by some unsung hero in RTÉ for broadcast on the eve of Ireland’s quarter-final against Italy in Rome.
I remember video-taping it at the time and, every once in a while over the years, I have dug it out just to revel in the sheer nostalgia of it all. That old VHS tape has long since worn thin but, happily, via the medium of YouTube, those who were there can watch it all again in pristine quality, while those who weren’t can check it out to get a good idea of what bliss it was to be alive in Ireland in those golden days of the summer of 24 years ago.
