Episode Synopsis "1998"
Who dares speak of ‘98? Er, we do. In this edition, we discuss the fraught hurling summer of 1998 - featuring Babs, Loughnane, Jimmy Cooney and the three priests - with Peter Woods, who made a documentary about those wild few months for RTÉ. We also speak to another GAA documentarian: Pat Comer, the film-making panel member behind the groundbreaking documentary A Year Til Sunday, which went behind the scenes of Galway’s All-Ireland football triumph. We also remember the ‘98 World Cup in France. The hosts won and their multiracial team were heralded as a symbol of a happy and united country: we discuss how that notion foundered. Plus, what exactly happened to Ronaldo? And why was David Beckham so harshly treated by the English press? This was also the year that Ireland won the U18 European Championships under Brian Kerr. Which player from that team had the most successful career? Was it Robbie Keane? Or was it one-time contender for Time Man of the Century Ronnie O’Brien?Plus, there’s talk of being phoned by Raymond Domenech, World Cup wallcharts and Marty Morrissey.
