'Shelbourne FC Supporter'
Inspired by this tweet:
In modern football you see everything of note, often seconds after it happened. It takes a very dedicated football fan to go back and watch old matches in full, but whether it's through social media, pre-game packages or otherwise, you still get to see the most famous moments. Any time Argentina come up on English television you're going to see the Hand of God, every Manchester United fan regardless of age has seen Solskjaer win it in Barcelona.
What are the biggest football moments that you've heard about but never seen the footage? I couldn't tell you what Gordon Banks' save against Brazil in 1970 actually looks like. Slightly more recently, I was at a Shelbourne game when Suarez handled the ball against Ghana in the World Cup in 2010, and as it slipped down the rungs of his highlights and controversies since, I don't think I've ever seen that one either.
