Jack Charlton becoming manager of the Irish soccer team was one of the very greatest happenings in the past 100 years, Jack change Ireland and the Irish people, people walked out of their homes, they left the doors unlocked, then went out in the streets to shout out loud, jumped and dancer around, they spoke to strangers, they wore the largest smiles ever seen on human faces, they ventured into foreign lands and went to watch the most English of games, soccer.
I'm like an Andy Townsend kind of Irish man living in England from my mother's side and why have I never heard this bit of excellence until recently. Hope he got more than the £1000 prize money
Oh what a song Happy Happy Times ⏲ The two best teams Italy 90 USA 94 Jack Charlton and mick mccarthy were the two best managers that ireland ever had Packy bonner was the best irish goalkeeper ever We also had a good team in saipan 2002
Irelands best chance in a tournament in our lifes When you see england saying that they could of won world cup 1990 Ireland had just as much chance as england in that event, ireland lost to italy in rome in quarters, and the referee was totally on italian side, and could not let ireland play. Ireland were screwed over in that match, and it was great 4 years later we beat italy in new jersey Thats the only time when i watched football, that a referee was overtly conning the game in favour of one team. Thankfully argies beat them in next round, and west germany won overall. But ireland, had just as much chance of winning world cup 1990 as england did, and the english proclaim they could of won it. Back then england were no better then ireland. England have never beaten italy in major tournament football.
June 1990, some of the happiest days of my life.
I was 8 in 1990 and it was just unbelievable. It changed the country, I think it helped start the boom. Good times
I was 6/7 them and I remember how big it was in my area that we made the world cup.
Love this tune its a hit..still sing it now..class

Nothing can touch "put em under pressure"
It’s close
But that's a close 2nd
Own up.. Who was it was giving Gaybo the c0l0n0sc0py at 4:17?
What a tune. This is nearly up there with 'The Flame'
🙈🙈
I’d love to hate this song… Lol… but it’s fecking brilliant and outstanding!
It's no "Put Em Under Pressure"
True but that want original, it was old tunes cobbled together. Still a great song though.
Great song Italian music well
Smash them in the next world Cup
I remember it well. He probably was no singer' but gave it his all.😂
Would have given angeline ball a lash for sure :P
Great times.
Couldn't see tubs doing a patch on this

That's diffintly angelina ball in the middle of the band, before the commitments
He's nearly 70 now
Remember it well, but wasn’t terribly impressed by it. Put ‘em Under Pressure was the definitive tune of the time
Sadly that horrific ole ole chant wasn't left back in 1990
Gay byrne looks a bit like ronald koeman!!
Angeline Ball pre commitments un there to
Amelda Quirk, she's a riiiddee
I was 10 years old 😂
