Proper Football With Mick McCarthy
Mick McCarthy chats to Kammy and Ben about Italia 90, what it was like working with Jack Charlton and how that infamous row with Roy Keane in Japan affected him.
Jack Charlton, Roy Keane and Toto Schillaci are just some of the names dropped this week as former Republic of Ireland defender and manager Mick McCarthy joins Kammy and Ben on the pod.
He recalls what he says was βthe best time of his lifeβ as Ireland captain, from shirt swapping with Franco Baresi to gaining an audience with the Pope, and how he and Ruud Gullit effectively decided the result of a match during that memorable tournament. He also talks about his love for Big Jack and why he deserves more acclaim for his achievements in the late 80s and early 90s.
He also talks about his time as manager of the Ireland squad and why he wouldnβt change anything about what happened with Keane following their infamous row in Saipan.
