Episode Synopsis "2000"
2000 was a pretty big year in Ireland: Samantha Mumba was topping the charts, the economy was roaring, and a Dubliner called Anna came second in the very first series of Big Brother. We’re more interested in another runner-up, however, as Sonia O’Sullivan exorcised a few demons in winning silver in the Sydney Olympics. We remember that, along with the fact it obscured a godawful Olympics for Ireland, and the CJ Hunter/Marion Jones drama. 2000 was also the year that launched a couple of Irish sporting dynasties - the Irish rugby team left behind the bedraggled nineties to win in Paris, as Munster began a torturous love affair with the Heineken Cup; and Brian Cody won his first All-Ireland title as Kilkenny manager. Elsewhere we remember Euro 2000, perhaps the greatest tournament of them all, and this was also the year in which Roy Keane made infamous reference to the Old Trafford’s Prawn Sandwich Brigade. Plus - Kevin Keegan quits in a Wembley toilet, Kerry win the All-Ireland, Tony Blair’s drunken son, the Love Bug, and did John Lennon send money to the IRA?
