Being Irish it has to be 12th June 1988. Ray Houghton's goal for the Republic of Ireland against England. It was not a great goal but an important one as it was the ROI first goal in a major championship. Prior to 1988, the ROI never qualified for a major tournament. I was lucky to be there. Not only was I proud that Ireland won but also the way the fans behaved. Stuttgart was a sea of green and not one arrest made on the day.
