It’s a big week for Cork GAA with eir sport giving fans the opportunity to reminisce on a historic year for the Rebels as they won The Double in 1990. In 2005 Cork met Galway in a highly anticipated match, with new manager John Allen at the helm looking to secure a second All-Ireland Hurling title in a row for the county.

Liverpool supporters can sit back and enjoy watching highlights from the 1966 Christmas Eve clash as the third-place Reds take on a second-placed Chelsea in a top-of-the-table First Division clash. A crowd of 36,921 watched on as Bill Shankly’s side ran out as 2-1 winners at Stamford Bridge. Enjoy Liverpool night every Tuesday night on eir sport 1. 

Manchester United fans can transport back to the glory days of the early 90’s as Fergie’s kids combine to comprehensively beat Wimbledon and Chelsea as eir sport continue their Manchester United night every Thursday night on eir sport 1. 

The 2004 Masters Tournament was a career-defining time for Phil Mickelson. Golf fans can revisit the iconic moment that Mickelson won his first major tournament at his 47th attempt. The 33 year-old sunk an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole to edge out Ernie Els by a single shot.

Boxing fans will be taken back to re-watch unmissable fights between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling in 1936 and 1938.
