QUIZ: How much do you remember about the Thierry Henry handball match?

Time flies...

Sean Nolan

The fifth anniversary of that night in Paris is tomorrow, November 18.

When looking back at the most memorable Irish games of recent years, one that stands out, for all the wrong reasons unfortunately, is our 2009 World Cup play-off second leg match against France in Paris on November 18 2009.

That night lives in the memory of every Irish fan because of Thierry Henry’s handball that teed up the goal that ultimately meant Ireland would not be in South Africa in 2010.

Some of you may have it down as one of those things, some of you may still burn with anger at the incident, so to test just where you are on the scale, take our quiz on the night’s event to see just how much you remember.
