A match-by-match account of every game the Republic of Ireland have played in the World Cup - including qualifying rounds and finals - from 1934 to the 1994 competitions. This unique history is an emotive journey through the trials and tribulations of Ireland's quest for football's ultimate prize. Clive Leatherdale recaptures the skulduggery behind Ireland's participation in the World Cups of 1934 and 1938, boycotted by England and the other British nations; the thrilling clashes with England that so nearly brought qualification in 1958; the barren 60s and 70s when Ireland hardly won at all. Relive the excitement that followed the arrival of Jack Charlton; the tension of the penalty shoot-out in 1990; the dramas of New York and Orlando 1994. The statistical appendices present a goldmine of facts and figures. This book is essential reading for all followers of Irish soccer.
