Yeah didn't have a lot to do tonight but delighted for Richard he'll get to play at a major championship which he definatly deserves. A legend and one of the best centre backs we've ever had.

Doubt it tbh Citizen.The Dunne Marker shirt would be more valuable imo.The fact it was a comptetive game,we got a result,Dunne was MOTM,the campaign ended in qualification for a tournament  and the fact that the shirt was created live on tv in front of everyones eyes meant that there was pictures of the incident on international news/print media.Its very rare an actual shirt gets such attention.
 
 The fact that Dunne then publically auctioned the shirt in conjunction with the FAI for charity means its authenticity cannot be questioned in any way shape or form.Im biased but imo its certainly has to be in my top 3 irish shirts of all time id love to ever get my hands on.

(2)Bonner v Romania 90
(3)Dunne v Russia 2011.

Shay Given has been battered on here for the past few weeks yet no such criticism for Dunne who was arguably worse at the euros and also played whilst injured.

I wouldn't criticise either player myself but it's interesting that one has got caned whilst the other has posts on an appreciation thread

not to contradict your expertise in the field Big smile, i think the keane one would be much more sought after (publically more than a collector). It is a genuine piece of Irish sporting history and has more relevance socially.

Fair point on the historical and social point citz but I think if you threw it out to the good folk on ybig if they could own either id say it would be hands down the dunne one.

Well he was out for a long period pre-Euros and then after the euros and was pretty awful performance wise. Going into the euros he was far from fully fit

Are you saying he was fit in your totally irrelevant Guildford 4 quip?
