JOE sat down with Packie to chat about his Golf Classic in aid of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalous Ireland, Italia ’90 and the World Cup…

The word ‘legend’ gets thrown around the place quite a bit, but Packie Bonner is undoubtedly one of the legends of Irish sport. The joy he brought to the country over the course of his Republic of Ireland career and particularly Italia ’90 couldn’t be measured.

JOE’s Eric Lalor got a chance to speak to one of his heroes and ours this week to discuss the charity event, penalty-shootouts and the World Cup in Brazil.

Packie was in Dublin this week to promote a Golf Classic in aid of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalous Ireland, which takes place in the K Club on August 22nd. Its a great cause and you can find all the details are here.
