The countdown to Copenhagen and Saturday night’s first leg playoff against Denmark continues, and today’s show features one of their greatest ever players (and teenage Eoin McDevitt’s hero), Brian Laudrup.

 

He talks to us about adjusting Danish expectations of beautiful football, winning Euro 92 without his big brother Michael, and losing out on the World Cup in America because of Alan McLoughlin’s late goal in Windsor Park.

 

Richie Sadlier’s in studio talking to us about the confidence this team can take from their brilliant one-off results, our 10 men on yellow cards, and the link between training dogs and professional footballers.

Plus there’s ear-ache, Eoin’s first ever Fantasy Football team, Andoni Zubizaretta, Canizares, and Jose Maria Bakero, and waking up every day with a smile on your face when your name is Brian Laudrup.
