Legends recall treasured Lansdowne memories

TOMORROW will be an emotional day at Lansdowne Road, the day when fans and players, former and present, say goodbye to international rugby at the rickety old stadium.

Two rugby legends, Ollie Campbell and Ciaran Fitzgerald — both involved with one of the golden ages of Irish rugby — have special memories of the Dublin venue place and its unique place in Irish sporting history.

Campbell ‘s first visit as a spectator was on December 7, 1963 – for the appearance of the All Blacks.
