"Terry Conroy...heads the invasion!" (Jimmy Magee). Fantastic. I'm always wondering where the footage of these late 60s/early Seventies matches went. They were all televised, not always live (in fact, rarely) but i remember seeing all the goals on TV. Yet I can never find any clips. Great to see this, thanks.
The last match in particular showed that Ireland really only played hoofball consistently from 1986 onwards, with a brief interlude during part of Mick McCarthy's first period in charge. Liam Tuohy did a great job with the Irish team in this campaign, even if they did fail to get out of the group. He brought some structure to what had been an utterly amateurish set-up, and it was a shame he had to leave in late 1973 owing to business commitments (which should indicate how much money was knocking around Irish football at the time). To get a good idea of how much he got done in a relatively short space of time, take a look at WFA's video of Italy's EURO 72 qualification campaign, in which group Ireland finished rock bottom, and registered the kinds of results one would have expected from the likes of Malta or Luxembourg.
You have a point Ha ha ha!! And right And nobody who answer to your comment even know That NONE of those group teams qualified for the World Cup of 74 Viva Chile! You know what happened better than anybody

None of these 3 team could qualify the 1974 World Cup at this group😀😀😀
notice Adams the recently died footballer after a long coma played for France against EIREat Parc de Prince Stadium.
@@mohdazmi10 My God, a long coma, you weren't joking! 39 years! After a bloody ligament injury! (He played in Dublin too, by the way)
@@Dermot2927 yes. A long coma. RIP to Adams.

Yes they had a strange rule according to which this group was allocated an additional play off instead of direct qualification
