He is proud of his roots. We talked together a lot about his misadventure in the 2002 World Cup, ... Roy is an incredible player. |
I hope the French fans will be ready because I know the Irish will be, ... It's a long road to the (2006) World Cup and we will need support all along the way. |

Our fans will have to be present in numbers on Saturday, |
They play the ball up quickly to the strikers, and are very solid, ... It's important to get a good result in France as it's very hard to win over there (in Ireland). |
