Ireland Home Shirt 1990/92

1990 – Under Jack Charlton, Ireland made history by reaching their first World Cup finals in Italy. They drew all three group games (England, Egypt, Netherlands), then famously beat Romania on penalties in the last 16. Their journey ended in the quarter-finals with a narrow 1–0 defeat to hosts Italy, but the team returned home as heroes.

1991/92 – Ireland built on that momentum in Euro 1992 qualifying. With leaders like Paul McGrath, Packie Bonner, and John Aldridge, they pushed Germany and England hard but narrowly missed out, finishing second in their group. The campaign showed Ireland were now a serious footballing force.
