Kerr makes return to scene of Cyprus horror in TV3 role

BRIAN KERR this weekend returns to the scene of one of the most traumatic nights in his international management, writes Colm O’Connor.

Twelve months ago, almost to the day, Kerr’s Republic of Ireland side limped to a 0-1 victory over Cyprus in a World Cup Group Four Qualifier — his penultimate game in charge.

Despite the memories, the former Irish boss will be in the GSP Stadium in Nicosia working as a co-commentator to Trevor Welch for TV3’s coverage of the Euro 2008 Group D Qualifier.
