A major domestic event was Shamrock Rovers being forced to leave Milltown when the owners sold the ground to property developers.
It's the one thing that stands out for me from 1987. I still remember marching in protest with my older brother and cousins, wearing my K.R.A.M. badge and green and white hooped t-shirt....I was 8 years old and thought I was the bees-knees:D

Didn't Hurricane Charley wreck the place this year?

Smashed up the Blue Peter Garden and Kew Gardens in England.

Nope, that was August 1986, I was born just as it was starting (what an omen!)

The only significant thing that happened in my life in 1987 was getting septicaemia, so in my opinion 1987 was a crap year

Gary Mc Kay struck an injury time winner for Scotland against Bulgaria in Sofia to send us through to Euro 88. Still remember it today, RTE decided to show the game even though we had almost no chance of qualifying. Flicked between stations all afternoon on a miserable wet Wenesday in November in depression thinking of Ireland failing once again to qualify for a tournament.

Flicked back and the Bulgarians were kicking off in injury time again going ballistic and the crowd booing like mad.....! With the little "0-1" in the corner of the screen. Cue the beginning of Ole Ole and all that....!

Great year.;)

??? The score wasn't on in the corner of the screen on RTE then?? That only came in after Sky started doing it in 92

I was born aswell. Good times.

Liverpool signed Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge. Ian Rush scored in the league cup final before departing to Italy. That was the first time Liverpool lost a game that he scored in. Damn Charlie Nicholas. I'm older than most of ye though since I remember it.

1976 ftw!!!

Hurricane Charlie.
I remember we were just back from a holiday at Butlins in England and they showed the park we stayed in with all the chalets blown apart. Awesome school yard boast for a 7 year old!

Hermy · 10-01-2009 08:15PM

We got a new car registration system e.g. 87 D 123 or 87 C 321

That was 1986 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Charley_(1986) I said in an earlier post that it hit Ireland just around the time I was born

Think positively, you're probably a reincarnation. Do you have a fro? That would be a dead giveaway

galwayrush · 10-01-2009 08:53PM

I was 21,
Dumped by my first serious girlfriend.
Rush released their album Hold Your Fire.

Could these two events be linked? Maybe as a baby you produced a steaming pile of fetid shite which melted all the ice. The first of many, I'm sure. Your more recent defaecations are the cause of the present global warming crisis.
