Black boots in every pic. You wouldn’t see that nowadays. Class.
What a legend. He gave everything in every game for Ireland and didn’t really get the rewards he deserved,after 13 years with the first team,he got 2 major competitions. He will be remembered for a long time. The ‘ honey monster ‘ is as much an Irish legend as Robbie Keane.
Jeasus he hasnt changed a bit in 18 years!! Legend!
I remember watching the game against Russia where he cleared the ball off the line. He was outstanding the entire game.
