Episode 3504: Gary Breen On World Cup Playoffs, Troy’s AZ, Prague A to Z
Today we welcome playoff veteran Gary Breen into studio to look back on the disappointment of losing out to Turkey in the Euro 2000 playoffs – the away leg of which most Irish fans never got to see – and the joy and insanity of the games against Iran in 2001.
Gary also tells us how he thinks Ireland are shaping up ahead of Prague, we chat about Heimir’s new contract and Troy’s glittering form for AZ.
Plus there’s Czech cheese, our exclusive Prague A-Z guide, and Frances’ TV Guide.
