It was 30 years this week that Ireland took on Romania in Genoa at Italia 90. There are rare moments when the words equal the feelings felt, and enhance them, and help you re-imagine them. And on that day – with the nation watching – George Hamilton captured the mood perfectly. The nation’s greatest TV commentator joins us today to talk about the game that is not only the greatest sporting moment in our history, its one of the greatest moments of any kind in Irish history.
