On the day of the most important football match in Irish history an expectant father is torn between witnessing the miracle of childbirth and the miracle of reaching the quarter finals of the World Cup. A new Irish short film produced by the famous Weinstein Company is set for its Irish premiere at the Dublin Film Festival in February.
It’s bound to be shown on TV screens over the festive period but do you know the story of Escape to Victory’s only Irishman? Cian Manning profiles Kevin O’Callaghan and explains how his Euro 88 dream was destroyed by an international teammate.
As Ireland prepare to take on Wales in Cardiff, we look back at a historic previous clash. When the sides played at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground in 1906, two film-makers were on hand to capture some of the action. The images are believed to be the oldest surviving footage of an international match in existence.
