Great book called Overthrown has a chapter about it all.

Highly recommend it.

Yes Niall Quinn was the designated third choice. I think FIFA made it mandatory afterwards to have a proper keeper.

Uncle Pierre

Remember how Quinn first scored a goal and later saved a penalty while playing for Man City back in 1991....

Most WC squads back then had three goalkeepers but for some reason Charlton wasn’t arsed and said Quinn was third choice when asked by journalists.

Its a physics thing. And a nice round number.

Higher up where the air gets thinner an aircraft must fly faster.

At the Kármán line you have to go so fast that you reach orbital velocity.

Godfather part 2 had 3 but De Niro won.
Wonder is it the first one? Duvall, Caan and possibly Pacino nominated??

magicbastarder

i suspect this may be something to do with John Cazale, an actor with the distinction that every one of the five movies he appeared in was nominated for best picture?

correct on the first count; i don't know on the second one, whether anyone irish had won a medal before him.

John Pius Boland won two gold medals at tennis in the 1896 Olympics.

Martin Sheridan from Bohola won three gold medals for the US between 1904 and 1908, not including the 1906 Olympics where he won two more, and was regarded as the greatest athlete of his time. Probably Irelands greatest Olympian

Here he is in London in 1908.

There are lots of others.
