We’re turning the clock back to 1994 this week. This was the year the phrase Celtic Tiger was officially coined, and with Riverdance, Jim Sheridan and Pierce Brosnan becoming Bond, it may be the year Ireland took her place among the nations of the Earth.

Jack Charlton’s Ireland are usually the avatar for Ireland’s social progress, and we’re by actor and playwright Emmet Kirwan to remember what it was like to travel to that World Cup, and how it changed this country.

We also remember Leitrim’s Connacht title victory with Seamus O’Rourke.

Plus: Charlie Redmond, OJ, Sonia, and Kevin Keegan’s innocent and inadvisable baiting of Alex Ferguson.
