Wes Hoolahan’s blinding goal against Sweden caused mass celebration throughout Ireland, inspiring Irish comedian PJ Gallagher to create this beaut of a tune.
And now we have another gem to sing along to in the shape of ‘Je t’aime Irelande’, which sounds exactly how you anticipate, but with a little twist.
Irish legends Shane MacGowan and Joe Rooney have combined, along with a host of other talent in the shape of Rackhouse Pilfer, Biblecode Sundays, Brave Giant, Sean and Eabha Gavaghan, Shane Wearen, Eddie Reynolds, Flash Kennedy, Sugar Ray, Daire O’Reilly, David Keenan, along with a 50-piece choir.
Prepare to feel a surge of national pride, as the gang rattle through some iconic Irish names, starting with the players, before moving onto other famous personnel throughout the years from the Emerald Isle.
We had to compose ourselves slightly after listening to this one…
