  The story of how the Irish national football team has been transformed from also-rans to being the most successful team in the British Isles. It examines the main reasons for the team's success - generous FIFA laws of eligibility, allowing British-born players to qualify for a place because Ireland was the birthplace of a parent or grandparent, and a series of tough, high-profile managers, culminating in Jack Charlton.
