What a win and what a team!

This week marks the anniversary of Ireland's famous 1-0 victory over Holland in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers.

The result guaranteed Ireland a place in a play-off, where they duly beat Iran to make the finals in Japan and South Korea.

It was a famous day at the old Lansdowne Road, with Ireland up against it facing a Dutch side featuring the likes of Edwin van der Sar, Marc Overmars, Patrick Kluivert, and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

See if you can match the Boys in Green and grab a win!
