🎥 OTD 1987: Ireland famously beat Brazil with a Liam Brady goal 💚 | OneFootball

It's a consensus and undisputed opinion in Ireland that their greatest footballing era came under the management of the legendary Jack Charlton.

On this day in 1987, he masterminded a famous friendly win over Brazil in what was just his 11th game in charge, with a helping hand from the iconic Liam Brady.

At a raucous Lansdowne Road, Brady scored his ninth and final goal for his country with a typically smart finish to knock off the then-four time World Cup champions.

Brady himself has said it is the favourite goal of his international career, and it's easy to see why.

The Arsenal icon would not be part of the glory that followed with suspension ruling him out of EURO 88 and that generational win over England, and by the time Italia 90 rolled around, he was not in Charlton's plans.

However, it's safe to say he left an indelible mark on Irish football, and that he remains the country's finest talent in many eyes.
