Pat Jennings on growing up in Newry, pals with George Best and the 'worst day of my life in football'

He is hailed as one of the greatest goalkeepers the world has ever seen.

He has an incredible 119 caps for Northern Ireland, including featuring in two World Cups.

He has played over 1000 games in his footballing career - which ended on his 41 st birthday, in what couldn’t have been a more fitting manner – against the country that popularised the phrase ‘the Beautiful Game’ – Brazil - in the 1986 World Cup Finals in Mexico.

He won the FA Cup with his club Tottenham Hotspur, along with league titles and a UEFA Cup, before having similar success when he moved to rival London club Arsenal, after 13 years with Spurs.

Yet both sets of fans adored him.
