I never even knew he played club football at all I always assumed the FAI just kept him in a broom cupboard in Merrion Square, only to be used on special occasions I didn't even believe he was a real person I thought he was a genetically engineered clone developed by a crack FAI team of scientists in preparation for the rapture, ie. Bonner getting injured Also to be used as a cuddly team mascot It's a little known fact that the Irish wolfhound Macúl, who used to dance up and down behind the goal at home matches circa 1990, was actually Peyton, shouting woof woof advice at Bonner My belief that Peyton had been developed in an FAI lab faded when I found out the FAI had been paying hundreds of thousands of pounds to a tout for tickets which did not exist I began to realise that they were not the all powerful, all knowing crack team of scientists I thought they were ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

True story On a train between Salzburg and Munich on July 20th, 1990, on a family holiday, I got talking to a fellow ten year old from a family of American tourists His name was John and he was from Pennsylvania He was fascinated about the "Who'll Put The Ball In The English Net" t-shirt I was wearing and the Olé Olés I was singing while messing in the corridor So I taught him the words of "Give It A Lash Jack" By the time we got to Munich he had the whole thing learned off I maintain that this was one of the cornerstone events of the modern rise of interest in sahhhhker in America ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Kelham O'Hanlon would have been third choice around 1990 In 1994 it would have been Keith Branagan of Bolton I think, he was quite prominent in their FA Cup run that year, they were a rising team Gary Kelly was fairly sh*te from what I recall, I'm sure he played in a televised match for Newcastle against Liverpool when Steve Nicol scored a hat trick, he wasn't very convincing and wasn't heard of much afterwards ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

| Just checked his wiki page and Gary was on standby for both the 1990 and 1994 World Cup squads. Big Jack decided to take an extra outfield player instead of three goalkeepers. With today’s rules he would have two world cups under his belt! Another interesting snippet on his wiki page is he was on the bench for that famous match in Turkey in 2000. Alan was injured so he was called up. |

| Wasn't Niall Quinn our official 3rd keeper in 1990 and the rules were changed for 94 that you needed to have 3 x recognised keepers? I'm sure I read that previously, though could have been just a tale. |

I much preferred it the way it was int he old days. 2 subs in the game and that's that. If the keeper gets injured an outfield player goes in goal.

It was 22 man squad back then so Ireland only took 2 recognised keepers. Quinn was listed as the 3rd. In 94 they said the 3 keepers could only play in goal and could not be selected as an outfield player.... or something along those lines. ------------- |

One particular lad, Baldrick, is a massive, massive fan of yours. He still holds out hope that you will one day return to the Irish senior setup in a goalkeeping coach capacity.
I am sure you have some stories from Giles, Hand and Jack's management days!
