Two radio legends talk us through Ireland’s reaction to that song.
Today (June 17) marks the 25th anniversary of Ireland’s meeting with Egypt – our second match at Italia ’90.
The tournament is one of the highlights in the history of Irish sport and we’re doing something to celebrate the occasion.
The song Put ‘Em Under Pressure is synonymous with the competition so we’re looking into the impact it had on the people of Ireland in 1990.
To find out how big a song it was at the time, and still is, we spoke two legends of Irish radio – 2FM’s Larry Gogan and Today FM’s Ian Dempsey. Watch here.
