EXTRA TIME: Green With Envy
It’s time for Colin’s pick in our second Extra Time bonus episode, and we’re travelling back to 1985, to a year of Irish sport that feels almost too good to be true. Watching a young Barry McGuigan defy the odds to beat Eusebio Pedroza, Ireland winning the Five Nations, and Dennis Taylor’s famous black-ball final became formative memories in his childhood. However, Colin’s had to learn the hard way that not every year as a fan can be like 1985!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
