Av Republic of Ireland 14.11.1990



My mate Tony P on the pitch with my Brighton flag. We were held back for a long time after the whistle and we decided to have a wander onto the pitch! The match finished 1-1 with David Platt scoring for England.









Most of our time was spent in a bar. The problem started when we got locked in a bar before the game as clashes between England fans the RUC and an IRA organised march against the extradition of Desmond Ellis to the UK...........4 people (2 RUC and 2 civilians) had been shot dead in Co Armagh by the IRA on Saturday 10th so tension was running very high.



We went on a tour of the Guinness Brewery.....................................
