Macedonia resurrect ghost to spook Ireland

AN OLD foe will come back to haunt Ireland in Skopje tonight if Macedonian coach Mirsad Jonuz and his bosses at the Macedonian FA get their way.

Goran Stavrevski will be the guest of honour when the Macedonians unveil their revamped ‘Philip The Second — The Macedonian’ stadium to their fans.

Stavrevski was never a big player in world football but he is a huge name in Irish soccer history — the defender was the man whose late, late headed goal broke Mick McCarthy’s heart on the same Skopje sod back in 1999.
