Following a successful run in Dublin and Sligo, the exhibition is sure to attract huge numbers during its time in Cork.

More than just memorabilia, there is an opportunity to get involved yourself as there is an interactive element to the exhibition.

You can test your knowledge by taking the quiz and get into the Photo Booth to get your picture taken.

There is even a chance for you to see if you have what it takes to be a commentator as you can pop into the recording booth and channel your inner Ronnie Whelan.

Interactive screens show some of our finest moments at bother senior and underage level.

St Peter's Cork located on North Main Street and just a short walk from the Grand Parade will provide the setting for the Exhibition which is free of charge.
