About this listen

Niall Quinn is a national hero. From the hallowed turf of Lansdowne Road to the boardrooms of Irish football, his impact on the beautiful game is nothing short of legendary. A towering presence on and off the pitch, Niall’s journey from goal-scoring hero to visionary football executive is a story of passion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the sport.

In this first part of a very special podcast to commemorate 35 years since the glory days of Italia 90, Niall chats with the two Marys about:

  • The move from GAA to soccer
  • His first big game and goal
  • His Dad's rather colourful view of his first time watching Niall play in England
  • Going back to education later in life
  • How he met his wife Gillian
  • The very tough days after retiring from playing
  • Footballers and divorce
  • His first punditry gig with SKY and Gillians advice
  • Having a privileged life and somewhat abusing it
  • The effect of alcohol
  • The call up from "ruthless" Jack Charlton
