Put ‘Em Under Pressure: A JOE documentary on the song that defined Italia ’90 (Part 5)

Some wonderful memories

Joe Harrington

Irish people react to hearing the greatest football song ever.

Today (June 30) marks the 25th anniversary of Ireland’s heartbreaking quarter final defeat to Italy at Italia ’90. Curse you Toto Schillaci!

It marked the end of our adventure at the tournament, but the memories live on, and it’s still one of the biggest highlights in the history of Irish sport.

The song Put ‘Em Under Pressure is synonymous with that tournament so we wanted to see how Irish people react to it 25 years after it was released. Watch here:
