Nessun Dorma podcast: a 1980s and 1990s football odyssey | Football | The Guardian theguardian.com/football/2025/…

It’s the anniversary of the Republic Of Ireland’s penalty shootout win over Romania at Italia ‘90. So here’s the time BBC Three told the story of those spot kicks, together with ‘Going The Distance’ from the Rocky soundtrack. Sensational editing, this.

Those rumours were true. Bohemian Football Club have done it again. Oasis, Paul Weller, Dublin City blue, and a release video shot at CrossGuns Snooker Club in Dublin.
