This is a master class in interviewing technique by Bill O'Herlihy in how to get the person you are interviewing to open up without them realising they are opening up. A very revealing interview and Jack's answers to Bills questions give a great insight into the Ireland international football scene at the time. Rest in Peace Bill and Jack.
The thing nobody remembers (and it drives me nuts!) after THIS interview ...this team played 2 friendlies and a WC game .. the results were as follows Holland 1- 2 Rep Ireland, Germany 0 - 2 Rep Ireland ,Italy 0 - 1 Ireland. The best 3 game sequence in Irish sport (IMHO)
R.I.P Big Jack total respect 👏🙏 not many old school gentlemen around now when Footballer's could batter you on the park but where your friends after the match 👏🙏🦚🇮🇨
Homecoming after 94 World Cup was an serious embarrassment. It made sense after Italia 90 - first ever World Cup - 4 games unbeaten and a narrow defeat to Tournament hosts. But we’re seriously hammered twice in USA.
Yet there was a massive turnout. It’s an Irish trait to be loyal to our sportspersons (Atleast it used to be). They’d beaten Italy in America and just qualifying from a very tough group was a great achievement in itself. The people wanted to say thank you. Remember that since 94 weve only qualified for one other World Cup
U.s.a 1994,beat italy... lost to Mexico in extreme unplayable heat, got point vs Norway we needed in heat edit: it finishing 0-0 says it all no1 can play in that heat...lost to star studded dutch team. 88 to 94 we had a serious team... at very least we had a manager who knew football, no domestic manager would have that knowledge, for me almost getting to WC semi final is an insane achievement. Only losing to italy in Rome. Very interesting what he says about the Spanish at the end there, it was prob not long after this the Spanish changed their whole infrastructure.
I remember this World Cup well and i was not surprised when Mexico stuffed us 3. 1. We were homeward bound unfortunately,and half of the country showed up in Dublin and we had no trophy on the bus down O’Connell street
You couldn't believe the good nights out you gave us, Jack.
RIP

2 of them were friendlies, germany dont care about freindlies. hardly worth including,
Ireland beat the Dutch 1 - 0 , not 2 -.1
@@paulswords5745 negative much bud ? What team likes to lose , sort of thing an arsehole posts
Gary Kelly had a great match in that Germany match. They were not easy ozey friendlies either.
How do you know no one remembers and why would that drive you nuts?
I went to 50% off the games home and abroad Jesus what memories
Rest in peace Jack Charlton
Wish my GF looked at me the way Bill looks at Big Jack.
RIP

I wouldn't call 2-1 and 2-0 a hammering, in fairness. And Packie was to blame for one of the Dutch goals.
Class. Part 2?

JC now would get so much out of the players now than what we have managing now ….
Sadness to the days now we're a joke 😢

It was 2 - 1
We still got out of the group into the second round.
You've basically got everything wrong there
We had to play Mexico in one hundred degree heat in Miami at midday, it was always going to be tough.
