FROM THE VAULT: John Giles on Liam Brady's time with Juventus and playing against Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer
Description
To celebrate John Giles' retirement week this week, Off The Ball have been trawling through the archives to celebrate the very best of Giles' contributions from over 23 years of broadcasting with Newstalk.
Over the course of this week, we will release some of that timeless content, regaling some of the best Giles' stories from over the years.
From selecting best elevens, to in-depth conversations on the state of the game itself, to paying tribute to the game's greats, Giles has seen pretty much everything there is to see over 70 years of playing, coaching and punditry.
In the ninth episode this week, we take you to some of the golden nuggets of Giles' analysis on Thursday nights on Off The Ball.
Here Giles talks of Liam Brady's impact with Juventus in Italy, and playing against German World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer.
