    David O'Leary - Part 2

    We conclude the series with a bonus episode, as David O'Leary tells us all about his international career with the Republic of Ireland, culminating with THAT historic penalty kick at the 1990 World Cup in Italy. The Gunners defender made more than 50 appearances for his country, but it's his match-winning penalty against Romania 30 years ago that he is still most fondly remembered for by Irish fans. In this episode, David tells us about his frosty relationship with long-standing boss Jack Charlton, talks us through his emotions as he strode up for the vital kick in the penalty shootout and reveals some of the stories he has heard from supporters about that moment ever since.
