VIDEO: An animated history of Irish football

Roy Keane, Thierry Henry and Eurovision heros of the past all make appearances in the James Richardson-narrated episode from the Guardian.

Spain were next up and today it was the turn of Ireland. Cue mentions of Riverdance, Saipan and Jack Charlton’s tendency to forget people’s names.
