That goal for Ireland resulted in the Dutch goalie, Van Breukelen, being dropped for the quarter final v West Germany....however, he ended up in goals for the game when Dons keeper Theo Snelders pulled out of the team due to the physchological affliction - shitting himsel'.
A great Dutch team made up of players from the great AC Milan team of the time, PSV, Barcelona, Ajax and of course Aberdeen - their forward line for much of the second half was Gullit, Van Basten and Gillhaus. Gillhaus and Snelders had played in a much bigger game 6 weeks earlier beating Celtic 9-8 in the Scottish Cup Final
I was also at the Costa Rica game and dont want to talk about it..........
