Our look back at Euro 88 continues with the first round of group games. On Friday 10 June 1988, the tournament kicked off with a tense 1-1 draw between West Germany, the hosts and favourites, and a vibrant young Italian side.The other Group A game took place the following afternoon, a thrilling if slightly shambolic contest between Denmark and Spain. There were five goals and a fair bit of controversy, but the highlight for English audiences was a brief, comic loss of temper from the usually immaculate Barry Davies. In Group B, two of the pre-tournament favourites – England and the Netherlands – were left fighting for their lives after one game. England suffered an FA Cup shock in an international tournament. with Ray Houghton scoring the only goal for Ireland and Gary Lineker missing enough chances to win a golden boot.In the evening, the much-hyped Netherlands played impressive, seductive football against the USSR – and then walked straight onto a sucker punch from Vasily Rats.* Euro 88: YouTube playlistGroup AWest Germany 1-1 ItalyBrehme 55Mancini 52Denmark 2-3 SpainLaudrup 24, Povlsen 82Michel 5, Butragueno 53, Gordillo 66Group BEngland 0-1 Republic of IrelandHoughton 6Netherlands 0-1 USSRRats 52If you like the podcast, please do spread the word and/or leave us a review.

Jack Charlton, Roy Keane and Toto Schillaci are just some of the names dropped this week as former Republic of Ireland defender and manager Mick McCarthy joins Kammy and Ben on the pod. He recalls what he says was “the best time of his life” as Ireland captain, from shirt swapping with Franco Baresi to gaining an audience with the Pope, and how he and Ruud Gullit effectively decided the result of a match during that memorable tournament. He also talks about his love for Big Jack and why he deserves more acclaim for his achievements in the late 80s and early 90s. He also talks about his time as manager of the Ireland squad and why he wouldn't change anything about what happened with Keane following their infamous row in Saipan. Elsewhere, how did Ray Houghton, a spoon and an unsuspecting Ireland fan give Mick the biggest laugh of his football career? Did he really have a hit single and why did he have a race with a journalist..and did he win? ADVISORY: Mick refers to his Republic of Ireland team-mate Pat Bonner as ‘Packie', which is a commonly used abbreviation of the name ‘Patrick' in Ireland, and how he was widely known throughout his playing career.
