Reflections on a day that shook America, as Donald Trump survives a deadly shooting in Pennsylvania which leaves one person dead and seriously injures another. Where does that leave America now? Also, England bravely bow out of the European Championships at the final hurdle, having been beaten 2-1 by a dazzling Spanish side, despite a wonderful Cole Palmer strike. Northern Irish football legend Gerry Armstrong gives his opinion, with Stephen back in the presenting hotseat.
'I looked out there on the pitch. They were just kids.'In autumn 1982, Watford embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. First stop was West Germany and a UEFA Cup first round date with Kaiserslautern.The squad was entering a transitional period. Luther Blissett, Ross Jenkins and Gerry Armstrong had all moved on. Some of the players who'd helped the club to the First Division were coming to the end and, to make matters worse, the Hornets suffered a lengthy injury crisis.And, with all the club's new signings ineligible for Europe, it meant that the team that represented Watford as they made their debut in European competition could almost pass as a reserve and youth side.After defeat in West Germany, it looked as if Watford's adventure would be over early...Enjoy the game by Lionel Birnie.

'I told the players we would not be changing our style. We were going to attack.'Watford had reached Division One well ahead of the schedule initially laid out by Graham Taylor and Elton John in 1977. The question was, were they ready to take on the best clubs in the country?The 1982-83 season came hot on the heels of the World Cup where the Hornets striker Gerry Armstrong had made headlines around the globe by scoring Northern Ireland's winning goal agains the hosts Spain. It intensified the spotlight on the Hornets as the new domestic campaign approached.Taylor believed in his players but he was not going to leave anything to chance. He scheduled a gruelling pre-season boot camp in Scandinavia and put the players through their paces. His wanted his squad to be the fittest in the division because he felt that would help them take a few teams by surprise.And that is exactly what happened. An opening day win over Everton was followed by a 4-1 thrashing of Southampton at The Dell. Watford then beat West Bromwich Albion at home to go top of the league for the first – and so far only – time.This is how the Hornets took the First Division by storm.Enjoy the game by Lionel Birnie.

‘He wanted to play with two wingers and attack. I thought, I love this guy.'Graham Taylor goes shopping again, spending a significant amount of Elton John's investment on a player from each of the North London giants and a much less heralded arrival from Oxford United.Two men from Northern Ireland were key to Watford's plans to push for promotion. Pat Rice had been Bertie Mee's captain at Arsenal. Gerry Armstrong was an eye-catching striker at Tottenham Hotspur. They were joined by Les Taylor, a hard-working midfielder from Third Division Oxford, and once they had settled in, Watford began to look like a team that was going places.Enjoy the game by Lionel Birnie.

Just over 1 hour of listening to so many funny & fascinating stories over his footballing career. Gerry talks about his ''altercation'' / misunderstanding with a GAA player that resulted in him being suspended & then ditching GAA for the beautiful game. Making the big time with Spurs & Watford. Scoring that goal in the 1-0 win against Spain in the in the 1982 World Cup. Playing along side George Best & who he rates as the best player in the world today. Life after the World Cup playing for Real Mallorca who's fans hadn't forgotten that goal against Spain. As well as an insight into being on the management team when N.Ireland beat England at Windsor in 2005. Of course most importantly of all, playing for Bangor.
