This day 24 years ago Gary Mc Kay scored Scotlands winning goal away to Bulgaria in a Qualifying match for Euro 1988.
Anyone who knows anything about Football in this country will tell you that this was the goal that sent Ireland off to the Finals of Euro 88 in Germany. Gary Mc Kay to this day is a cult hero among Irish Football fans.
Scotlands win kept Bulgaria from over taking us at the top of the group. I can remember listening to updates from that match and roaring on Scotland !!!
I'll never forget the commentator on the radio screaming (probably Philip Greene) when Mc Kays goal went in.

FANTASTIC! Great goal. But the Neckar stadium on 12 June 1988 at 5.12 p.m. local time has to be the second best moment of the 1980's, after the birth of my son. Who put the ball in the English net, doo da doo dah....wouldn't it be amazing if we did them again?
