In 1980, a League Of Ireland XI traveled to River Plate’s Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires and took on World Cup winners Argentina featuring a 19 year old Diego Maradona. The lads talk about Limerick’s Pat Nolan tasked with marking Maradona, Liam Buckley’s recollections as a player on that trip and the rest of the tour in Argentina which somehow features BB King.
