Ardiles strokes the ball like it was a part of his anatomy. - Jimmy Magee

They're going for silver, they're going for gold. John Treacy has one hundred metres to go. In the past Ireland have won bronze medals with John Caldwell, Freddie Gilroy, 'Socks' Byrne, Jim McCourt, Hugh Russell. They've won golds with Pat O'Callaghan twice, Bob Tisdall, Ron Delaney. They've won silvers with John McNally, Fred Tiedt, Wilkins and Wilkinson and for the thirteenth time an Irish medal goes to John Treacy. The little man with the great heart.

I bet there's a tear in your eye wherever you're watching this. There's nothing wrong with tears; tears are often shed in joy.

"GREAT play by the Mexican there! He took on the whole shagbag lot o' them!"'''
