On 15 February, 1995, Lansdowne Road played host to an international soccer friendly between the Republic of Ireland and England.
It would go down as perhaps the darkest night in the old ground's history.
David Kelly put Ireland 1-0 up in the 21st minute, but all eyes were on matters off the field of play.
Rioting visiting supporters caused the game to be called off just six minutes after Kelly's goal, with Jack Charlton commenting afterwards: "I've seen a lot in football, but I’ve never seen anything like that. Every Englishman should be ashamed."
Following the trouble, RTÉ News asked how did it happen and who was at fault?
Trouble was in the air from the kick-off, with booing and nazi salutes during Amhrán na bhFiann.
It was a shameful night for England, but the both the Gardaí and the FAI also had questions to answer.
Why were the Irish fans mixed in with the English supporters? Were the security arrangements adequate? Was there a strong enough Garda presence at the match?
Supporters Alan Hunter, Brian Doody and Brian Murphy spoke to RTÉ about their experiences at the game, while Sean Connolly - the then chief executive of the FAI - promised that the organisation would carry out its own full internal investigation.
