Brian Kerr's Kids - The Story of Irish Football's Golden Generation

Kerr's Kids is about Ireland's success at underage football in the late 1990s.

In 1997, Brian Kerr's Ireland team finished third in World Youth Championships in Malaysia, where they lost in the semi-finals to an Argentina side containing Esteban Cambiasso, Juan Roman Riquelme and Pablo Aimar.

The following summer, Ireland won the European Championships at U16 level, where they beat Italy in the final, and at U18 level, where they beat Germany on penalties in the final. It was a unique time for Irish football and this success at underage level has never been replicated.

Some of the players involved in Kerr's underage teams that went on to play for the senior team included Robbie Keane, Damien Duff, John O'Shea, Richard Dune, Stephen McPhail, Richie Sadlier and Andy Reid.
