i'm italian and i was in the stadium that day i'm one of the two policemen in the corner that look the guy in min.14:47 we dont stop him because we can feel the satisfaction and the joy of irish people, now i'm in retire but i remeber that day like could be yesterday, god are past 23 years!
I'm from Poland and I like both countries and both teams, but in that tournament I supported Ireland. Maybe for the Euro 1988, where they defeated England (England is our football nightmare) and the Soviets (Russia is our historical nightmare). Many people in Poland became the fans of the Irish team those years. So, our nations like each other for many, many years earlier. Greets from Poland, Irish friends, you had a great national team those times :-)
I was 8 years old at my grandads when I watched this, I'll never forget it, everyone in the lounge jumped up and celebrated when O'Leary's pen went in. We are all English by the way! Great moment. Cherished memories. RIP Jack Charlton. Legend! 🇨🇮🏴
More than half of the irish squad were english(or welsh or scotish), but because of some irish heritage they were invited to play for Rep of Ireland, as they were not good enough to play for England(or Scotland the case of Houghton). By 80s, Rep of Ireland was by far, inferior in football to all the 4 home football nations(England, Scotland, Wales, North Ireland). Jackie Charlton(who has just passed away), an english, used any strategy to create a strong team in Rep of Ireland.
It still puts tears in my eyes the wonderful memories of this. I was 18 and with my siblings and parents at home. The enjoyment ,the roars and screaming and happiness around the house will never be forgotten.
Watching this on the day of Big Jack's funeral. What a classy fella, and always conducted himself like the gentlemen of his generation, with pride, respect for the opponent and good humour. Rest In Peace Jack.
Charlton, I doubt, ever expected this job to change his life. He certainly never expected it would change everyone's life in Ireland who were lucky enough to be alive to see it. They were the greatest days I can remember. A totally, unified country urging these boys on with every song. I am so glad he took to Ireland as much as we did to him. He gave us so many amazing nights, rest in peace Jack. I saw an Ireland scarf draped over his coffin today beside his England scarf, a lovely touch.
Not only did the big JC drag our country to international competitions, but he also dragged our country out of recession. When he arrived in 1986 our country was on its knees with depression and REAL poverty all around, Jack brought the feel good factor. “The feel good factor” comes about when people feel inspired and are happy to spend the little few pennies they have on food, drink and irish paraphernalia as was the case during these really bleak times. This props up and builds a strong economy. We became proud of who we were, worked harder and realized anything was possible in life. This also inspired others ie Carruths and O’Sullivans gold medals and countless Eurovision winners etc. We got into the habit of winning continuously throughout the nineties which then led to the Celtic tiger. It wasn’t a bunch of clever/corrupt politicians that dragged this country into economic superiority, but us irish people in spite of their brainless decisions. We bulldozed our way through the last recession to again achieve economic superiority and we will again in spite of this covid crisis. But it all began with the spark Jack Charlton and the boys in green lit in euro 88 Thanks lads and thanks to those great fans of the 80’s and 90’s who inspired our boys in green. You’ll never beat the Irish.
I was there that day. I was a kid, and I exchanged my Sampdoria scarf with a "HERE WE GO IRELAND - ITALIA 1990" scarf, and still have it, with proud. Green army were probably the best Nation-team supporters ever seen in Genoa.
I flew to Rome the previous evening, got a train up overnight to Genoa, queued up for six hours in the scorching sun for tickets along with my brother in law and thousands of other Irish fans. All well worth the wait for the glorious moment when Dave O'Leary scored that winning penalty. A day to remember and the craic in the centre of Genoa that night was unbelievable, even the Italian police realised there was no point in trying to enforce the drinks ban that night and not a hint of trouble from any of the Irish fans. Great day that won't be forgotten for a long time by anyone lucky enough to have been there.
I was only 8 years old at the time. My father and his 2 brothers somehow scored 3 tickets but the tickets were in the Romanian end. You can imagine how hard it must have been not to celebrate. It is one of his stories I hear him tell at least a few times a year.
“Good luck to the people back home, I hope they have a good party” i went out with my dad and all our pals hanging out of a car window with the car horn blowing, one of my best memories. Thanks Jack ☘️
Neil Lennon 88 I’ll always remember this day!?! It’ll live in my mind for the rest of my life!?! The first time we ever got into the football World Cup and we got to the quarterfinals!?! With a load of plastic paddies!?!
I am completely amazed at how a video can completely take me back to a time when I was a 9 year child. What an absolutely magic time. Great memories. RIP big Jack
Same here and I was born 98.. I just love that Celtic jerseys are completely normal to wear amongst the Irish fans. I loved my NTL Celtic jersey and I miss it much 😢
Still to this day knowing the result I still get nervous watching this. One of, if not the best Irish sporting occasion. MAGICAL. Never forget that night in Dublin after that game.
Richard Sheehan he's a really nice guy in real life as well, when my Granja died he came to my Nana's house and just talked to everyone, it was like he was never even a pro 💚🍀
As a Leeds fan, I still can't believe that we let Jack get away! He only ever played for us and was a very good manager and yet he's one of the few out-and-out Revie greats who never managed Leeds. Charlton was the best manager of all the Revie boys, then probably Giles, and then Bremner, and yet we only ever employed one of them! Charlton's one of the big what-ifs in Leeds history.
Micheal Last Charlton actually convinced some of those players to play for the Republic, and they played in a regimented style that can only be achieved by good coaching.
I'm 40 now.what a time.was only 10 at the time.watch this every now and then with a few beers in me.memories.always gives me goosebumps.jack Charlton r.i.p u were an honourable Irish man👍
I’ll never ever forget this moment!?! It was the first time Ireland ever got into the football World Cup and we got to the quarterfinals!?! Don’t think we’ll ever get that far in the football World Cup!?! But I honestly do believe that we do have an absolutely amazing chance of winning the web Ellis back to Ireland with us!?! Can’t wait for the rugby World Cup!?!
I'm a Scotland fan and I remember that. I was a bag of nerves and was jumping around like a loony when O'Leary plugged the winning penalty great night for the Irish
I experienced this on a very hot day in London. I happened to enter a bar that was showing the game to have a cold drink. I believe I was the only Irish person in the pub so I kept my voice down when Ireland won the game. Interesting that the majority were cheering for Rumania. I walked out into a City of London hor sun with a smile on my face. RIP Mr Charlton and respect to your family.
I'm from London, England. Born to Irish parents. My best friend in my life was a Kurdish boy. An Iraqi/Kurd. We were 8 years old and I remember him and his family came around to my house, with only my mother and I at home watching the game. Dad was in the pub (!). I'll always remember the exchange of ideas about freedom and independence that me and my friend, Ranjdar, spoke about even when we were 8. I began to learn about Kurdistan. My dad was all for the PKK (!). Seeing your message, brings a tear to my eye and I don't cry for nothing. God Bless You. God Bless Kurdistan. Freedom will come. FREEDOM WILL COME.

I was 12 in 1990… this was my soccer awakening…. And 4 yrs later I sang the national anthem of Ireland in English, while my father sang it in Irish.. section 335 giants stadium June 18th…..1994
The greatest day in Irish soccer history. Great days. Great memories. It really brought the country together. George was a master too, he turned the penalties into his own creation.
"We're all part of jackie's army, we're all off to Italy, and we're gonna shake em up, when we win the world cup, cause Ireland is the greatest football team" the good ol days
This was a great win and the whole of Ireland went nuts after this win. There were flags hanging from every house and all the streets and lampposts were painted green white and gold. Great times
@@IsCumaFut2 not as hope-you must be joking? Was there the same hysteria for that game at Twickenham? The same euphoric scenes up and down the nation? Ireland came to a halt did it? For rugby,not a hope.A minority as against the world game watched by millions, in case you don't know the football world cup is the biggest sports even on the planet and logically for the Republic of Ireland to even advance that far against strong teams was a huge achievement, they did reach 7 in the fifa rankings. So in a nutshell comparatively rugby is only small change.when you see Ireland doing well in Rugby it's hardly great news is it? A sport played by a handful of nations where it's only number 1 in a small nation,new Zealand. Rugby doesn't capture nations like football or never will,anywhere.

No. During 2018 football world cup they were packed and had a wonderful festive atmosphere, rugby will never capture that. Stephen Roche winning the tour de France in 87 would surpass rugby even.
@@oliver69cork46 rugby is not the most popular sport in ireland. I was there when that penalty was scored and yup it was iconic.. It wasn't the greatest sporting achievement though.
@@IsCumaFut2 and the greatest sporting achievement was what? Just interested. Houghton versus England 1988,Irelands various triple crowns, John treacys silver medal at la84,there are many but to me being impartial,just wondering what could be higher in achievement than doing well in the worlds number one game in popularity etc. But as they say,each to their and respectfully it takes alot to succeed no matter what.
One thing that's struck me watching all of this is the respect from George Hamilton throughout. Not once did he call Pat Bonner, Packie Bonner. I've always known and remembered about his effort to pronounce names based on their local pronunciation but hadn't copped he was respectfully using the formal names of our players as opposed to nicknames. A broadcasting legend. And by all accounts a very nice fella
i watch and comment on youtube vids all the time. but your comment on this game is by far the best i've ever come across, the fact that you were a policeman at the stadium that day and can now comment on that with this video 22 years later is unbelieveable
Football comes in circles (that was our time) I was there at 15yrs of age... still a fan at present, since then, been to all of Ireland's only 3 world cups (plus all the group games even 93 in Belfast) Italy 90 ...best of all... when lads wernt stuck in their phones & no sign of sky sports... Great days!!
I was a 22 year old Irish man at the opposite end of the stadium it was magical two growing men hugging and crying Infront of me then they turned to me and began hugging me..i almost cried too such a wonderful memory..it was at least 30 minutes before any of the Irish fans left the stadium.. when I did i took a bus to the city centre of Genoa it took me an hour because I was so excited i wasn't able to focus on where I was suppose to get off . I had to take the same bus three times before I finally got to the centre..
It's hard to understand why Balint and Popescu didn´t take a penalty in the shoot-out. Instead, the NT coach Ienei ordered Daniel Timofte to take one, when he was a nobody in the national team and had entered the game as reserve. I don´t get it. The absence of Lacatus was crucial too, since he was an expert penalty taker.
The Irish coach looks like YOUNG King Charles 🤣 well done Ireland 🇮🇪 I love this country so much .❤️. I've been living here 15 years and I'm 30 now God bless Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏 🙌
Two really good teams. Hagi was in his pomp, Ireland were very good defensively. Love big Packie got close to a few before the save. In the beautiful stadium in Genoa. 🍀☘️👏👍✊
This is a day that every Irish man should remember if you were born at this time!?! I’ll never forget it!?! The first time we ever qualified for any major tournament and we managed to get to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!?! It was an amazing time!?! And I actually met Jack Charlton a few years ago in balina while he was fishing and I spoke to him!?! He was an honorary Irishman and will be remembered as Ireland’s greatest manager!?! Rip big jack!?! Gone but not forgotten!?! 😢
Am privit cu plăcere penaltiul lui Lupu de la campionatul mondial din 90 și m-am minunat ce jucător ce tehnică uimitor câtă eleganță cel mai bun fotbalist al româniei din toate timpurile ce Hagi pistol cu apa și la rapid când juca mergeam cu drag ca stiam ca am să văd din nou spectacol. Bravo Danute ești mare sănătate multă știu ca ai nevoie acum mai mult ca niciodată îți mulțumesc pentru toate meciurile jucate pentru Rapid ești și vei rămâne idolul meu.
Que partido fue ese lo recuerdo mucho fue un momento histórico para el fútbol de Irlanda con cuatro empates se metió entre los 8 mejores del mundo en Italia 90 gran recuerdo
Watched this when I was 6! Gives me goosebumps watching it! After watching Packie save that penalty my whole house went mad! My dad was so used to Ireland losing, this was a golden period. Jumping around for ten minutes. Then I ran outside to my garden, and began blessing myself, and pretended to be Packie saving that Romanian penalty time and time again....... Almost brings a tear to my eye. Great memories.
+Joe Camel timofte missed the penno against us and start pulling his hair out and Dave o Leary scored the winner a nation holds its breath good memories and hopefully more to come forgive my spelling give it a lash Jack
Still have brain damage from that day. I was in Munich that Summer, the drinking was fierce enough without that crazy run. Still, nothing will ever beat arriving in Bavaria the day of the England match in 88, George Hamilton was being interviewed in perfect German on TV before the match. Great days out, thanks Jack and the Boys!
die hard romanian celtic fan here... thank god i was too young then to remember this. i would have cheered for ireland and packie bonner what an amazing achievement by ireland. quarter final of the world cup. makes it even more valuable if you look at it theses days.

That was a magical time, the country felt genuinely united,
I loved it and I fucking HATE football
Los fans de Irlanda, De los mejores de las copas mundiales o eurocopas..!!! Saludos desde México 👍
I was a 22 year old Irish man at the opposite end of the stadium it was magical two growing men hugging and crying Infront of me then they turned to me and began hugging me..i almost cried too such a wonderful memory..it was at least 30 minutes before any of the Irish fans left the stadium.. when I did i took a bus to the city centre of Genoa it took me an hour because I was so excited i wasn't able to focus on where I was suppose to get off . I had to take the same bus three times before I finally got to the centre..
My uncle Brendon broke the coffee table watching this game ! Lol
Great stuff XO.
Thank you for putting this up. Has been too long in the waiting. Had enough of clips and documentarys.
Still have this whole spectacular taped off the tv on vhs
Great upload, thanks !
remember watching this in a pub on the quays with my mates, brings me back. lets hope some good memories this summer
I was watching it in Magnums on O Connell St. Ahhhh good times
was watching it in brighton with my mum jumping around
My favourite line here is Jack in the interview with the “and goodluck to the people back home, I hope they have a good party!” :)
RIP BIG JACK CHARLTON 😢
I will never forget this moment. I was 9.
George Hamilton is just the greatest commentator ever isn’t he
God Bless you Jack, the best manager that ever lived
Who is watching this on the 25th of June 2020. 30 years to this date. #COYBIG
Edit: Rest In Peace Jack Charlton
It's hard to understand why Balint and Popescu didn´t take a penalty in the shoot-out. Instead, the NT coach Ienei ordered Daniel Timofte to take one, when he was a nobody in the national team and had entered the game as reserve. I don´t get it. The absence of Lacatus was crucial too, since he was an expert penalty taker.
thanks for uploading, historic moment
I am an Indian and have always supported Ireland. Sad that they couldn't make it in Euro 2021!
The Irish coach looks like YOUNG King Charles 🤣 well done Ireland 🇮🇪 I love this country so much .❤️. I've been living here 15 years and I'm 30 now God bless Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏 🙌
Met Big Jack in Mother Hubbards restaurant back in 01. Gentleman!
I remember watching this aged 19 at my girlfriends house. It seems like a lifetime ago. Summer 1990 take me back!
Two really good teams. Hagi was in his pomp, Ireland were very good defensively. Love big Packie got close to a few before the save. In the beautiful stadium in Genoa. 🍀☘️👏👍✊
With Hagi Românian team it was great, love you guys
This is a day that every Irish man should remember if you were born at this time!?! I’ll never forget it!?! The first time we ever qualified for any major tournament and we managed to get to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!?! It was an amazing time!?! And I actually met Jack Charlton a few years ago in balina while he was fishing and I spoke to him!?! He was an honorary Irishman and will be remembered as Ireland’s greatest manager!?! Rip big jack!?! Gone but not forgotten!?! 😢
Damn you Scillachi!!!!!!!!!
Correct name is Salvatore "Totò" Schillaci ;)
A pure sicknure of a goal
Hearing the Irish fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone has me in tears. I may hate today’s Irish team, but God damn it, I love being an Ireland fan.
would bring a tear to a wooden statue.... im in bits here.
Am privit cu plăcere penaltiul lui Lupu de la campionatul mondial din 90 și m-am minunat ce jucător ce tehnică uimitor câtă eleganță cel mai bun fotbalist al româniei din toate timpurile ce Hagi pistol cu apa și la rapid când juca mergeam cu drag ca stiam ca am să văd din nou spectacol. Bravo Danute ești mare sănătate multă știu ca ai nevoie acum mai mult ca niciodată îți mulțumesc pentru toate meciurile jucate pentru Rapid ești și vei rămâne idolul meu.
even after all these years we never get tired of watching this
I was12 years of age, watching this at home and loving every minute of it!!
Que partido fue ese lo recuerdo mucho fue un momento histórico para el fútbol de Irlanda con cuatro empates se metió entre los 8 mejores del mundo en Italia 90 gran recuerdo
I watched this in the Stags Head in Dublin with my old friend Kirsty A brilliant memories
Amazing memories, loved this WC finals. What s great summer that was
Estadio Luigi Ferraris (Génova, Italia), el lugar donde Costa Rica 🇨🇷 e Irlanda 🇮🇪 hicieron HISTORIA ❤️.
Watched this when I was 6! Gives me goosebumps watching it! After watching Packie save that penalty my whole house went mad! My dad was so used to Ireland losing, this was a golden period. Jumping around for ten minutes. Then I ran outside to my garden, and began blessing myself, and pretended to be Packie saving that Romanian penalty time and time again....... Almost brings a tear to my eye. Great memories.
football history... good job Ireland... we always were unlucky on penalties... we also lost in '94 against Sweden in the QF :(
+Joe Camel timofte missed the penno against us and start pulling his hair out and Dave o Leary scored the winner a nation holds its breath good memories and hopefully more to come forgive my spelling give it a lash Jack
Still have brain damage from that day. I was in Munich that Summer, the drinking was fierce enough without that crazy run. Still, nothing will ever beat arriving in Bavaria the day of the England match in 88, George Hamilton was being interviewed in perfect German on TV before the match. Great days out, thanks Jack and the Boys!
RIP Jack best manager ever
RIP Jack.
