Mon used to tell the young kids in the wee toon that Schillaci was a fenian bastard. Mon was 19 at the time and had a full mullet with blond highlights.
Great memories of Italia 90 I have. England v Germany semi final still hurts. But maybe that German team was actually very good, and deserved to win? Schillaci got the golden boot and the golden shower, even though Lothar Matthaus was the standout player of the tournament.
The flukey Irish, fenian bastards got to the quarter finals without winning a game in 90 minutes or in 120 minutes. Good old Schillaci put an end to that.
Was a good tournament for Paddy, who got their revenge on Johnny Woppo four years later in the US and A, with a team composed entirely of Englishmen with Oirish grandparents
Mind that time when we were in Lisbon for the Sporting Lisbon game and you stood up on the table to tell a joke? You said, "cast your mind back to the mid 90s, what was the last thing Celtic players lifted? Then you shouted out, Tommy Coyne's wife's coffin!" The whole bar was silent and started booing you for being so sick. You didn't read the room well at all that time, buddy
Is Paolo Rossi still in the land of the living? He was great at the '82 World Cup, especially when he ****ed the samba dancing Brazilian ****ers
