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 a 36 years old man from Brazil and i was 8 when i watched this penalty shootout. Don´t ask me why but, since this day, i became an Ireland fan.

George Hamilton,in my opinion is responsible for one of the greatest quotes in sporting history. "The nation holds it's breath".

RIP Jack Charlton.

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! 🇨🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm argentinian and I remember seeing the great save by Bonner. Big Fan of Ireland since they defeated England in the Euro 88. God bless Ireland.

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 :-)

RIP Jack we will always be part of Jackie's Army 💔😢🇮🇪

RIP BIG JACK THANKS FOR THE NEVER ENDING MOMENTS THAT CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY. GOD BLESS

Irish people always sing loud and proud. :) The same was in Poland during our Euro, thank you for that atmosphere. :D

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.

I'm Romanian and I love Irish ppl!!!LOVE IRELAND!!!:)

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.

Greatest commentary ever and only an Irishman could get away with it @ 11:00. "Its Cascarino against this fella"

I was at Italia 90 and the Irish supporters were wonderful, truly lovely fans. God bless them

"The big man from Donegal has set it up, for a victory! ". Great memories!

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.

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.

Irish are the best fans. Love from Brazil. 🇮🇪 🇧🇷

“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 ☘️

RIP Jack, you are more deserving of respect than the majority. Say hi to Bobby for us!

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

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.

Packie went the right way everytime

Thanks for everything Big Jack, backdrop of my childhood was your making. x

Jack Charlton is a saint in Ireland. A top class guy.

Never ever will I tire of watching this and listening to the commentary and jack's interview. Lifts the heart.

25 years later, I'm still sitting on the edge of my seat. Packie Bonner; a hero of the Irish people - and he never even shot anyone! ;-)

The roar from the crowd when Pat saved the penalty. Unbelievable. That was a special time in Irish history.

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.

RIP Jack Charlton, you bought great joy to irish people... Jack was well like by everyone.... gone but not forgotten....

I was 8th years old watching this and I remember it as if it was yesterday, ironically I can't remember what happened yesterday at this moment in time

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'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👍

Thanks, above all, for this memory, rest in peace Jack.

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.

Admire and respect Irish people and team and specially Sheedy Houghtoun and Jack Charlton,the legendary coach from Kurdistan♥️💛💚

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!?!

The nation holds it breath. Will we ever see this again. Great memories.

RIP Jack 🇮🇪I always come back to this video.

Greatest irish football moment....we all loved Italian 90 even though technically speaking we never won a game.amazing

By far ireland greatest sporting moment and times,that June was unreal,with pubs full,streets full and euphoria,what a time

"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

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

I still cry lookin at this 33 years later!

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

Big Jack RIP ... From England

It's still gives me goose bumps after all those years.

I was in my mothers womb when she was watching this and she said I was kicking like mad, I was born 2 weeks later lmao

If you could relive one day in history.

I could watch this every day for the rest of my life!!

Oo ah Paul Mcgrath say oo ah Paul Mcgrath

"Cascarino against this fella"

That was a magical time, the country felt genuinely united, I loved it and I fucking HATE football

Being from burtonport, donegal. This is a proud moment

Thank you for putting this up. Has been too long in the waiting. Had enough of clips and documentarys.

:) been lookin for this ..thanks for posting ^_^

Los fans de Irlanda, De los mejores de las copas mundiales o eurocopas..!!! Saludos desde México 👍

remember watching this in a pub on the quays with my mates, brings me back. lets hope some good memories this summer

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!” :)

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

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!!

Still have this whole spectacular taped off the tv on vhs

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.

Great stuff XO.

Great upload, thanks !

My uncle Brendon broke the coffee table watching this game ! Lol

RIP BIG JACK CHARLTON 😢

I am an Indian and have always supported Ireland. Sad that they couldn't make it in Euro 2021!

I will never forget this moment. I was 9.

With Hagi Românian team it was great, love you guys

even after all these years we never get tired of watching this

I remember watching this aged 19 at my girlfriends house. It seems like a lifetime ago. Summer 1990 take me back!

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..

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.

God Bless you Jack, the best manager that ever lived

Met Big Jack in Mother Hubbards restaurant back in 01. Gentleman!

Who is watching this on the 25th of June 2020. 30 years to this date. #COYBIG Edit: Rest In Peace Jack Charlton

would bring a tear to a wooden statue.... im in bits here.

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

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.

football history... good job Ireland... we always were unlucky on penalties... we also lost in '94 against Sweden in the QF :(

I was12 years of age, watching this at home and loving every minute of it!!

Damn you Scillachi!!!!!!!!!

thanks for uploading, historic moment

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 🇮🇪 🙏 🙌

The 37 people who don't like this video are soulless

best penalty shoot-out ever!

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.

RIP Jack. Great, great days.

Amazing memories, loved this WC finals. What s great summer that was

Loved watching this again. All these years later, and I still get nervous as Dave O' Leary walks up! Great times..... Agus is grá liom Packie!!

Oh such happy memories god bless you jack Charlton 💚💚💚💚☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👍

Never gets old.

I watched this in the Stags Head in Dublin with my old friend Kirsty A brilliant memories

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!?! 😢

Twenty minutes of penalties? Did they read all Joyce's books while shooting?

Estadio Luigi Ferraris (Génova, Italia), el lugar donde Costa Rica 🇨🇷 e Irlanda 🇮🇪 hicieron HISTORIA ❤️.
