Mind you, Terry Mancini played a few for them in the 70s. He was on Talksport a couple of weeks ago, he said Dalymount Park was an absolute hole in them days and on his debut at half-time when they got back to the dressing room a dog had crapped right in the middle of it. Johnny Giles who was their manager then said to the players "Who's crap on the floor?" to which Mancini replied "I am, but I'm great in the air!" Those were the days eh?...
Givens! He's one of the very best out and out strikers we ever had for me. If I exclude Stanley and Rodney from that definition, I can only think of Les who was arguably better.
Terry belonged to a time when footballers were real people with personalities who lived in the community and drove ford capris, if they drove at all
Byrne's Night? Yeah you're right I didn't (and still don't) understand the title of this thread... Anyway out of Don Givens, Terry Mancini, John Byrne, Michael Robinson, Kevin Gallen, Martin Rowlands, Paddy Kenny and Brian Murphy? Don Givens probably - followed by Paddy Kenny.
waddock was unlucky he played in all Ireland's games prior to euro '88 but got injured in the last game before it. jack charlton said he was a shoe in to make the squad.
