'We're in showbiz, baby': Here are Eamon Dunphy's best bits after 40 years with RTÉ

Eamon Dunphy is leaving RTÉ after 40 years as the face of the state broadcaster's football coverage.

Controversial but always compelling, Dunphy was inextricably linked to all of Ireland's major football moments in his punditry role.

Since the 1978 World Cup, he's been there through it all. Italia '90 and Saipan. The Henry handball and the Euros. From Big Jack to Trapattoni, Staunton to O'Neill, Dunphy's shared 11 World Cups with us.

It all leaves a long list of best moments, as remembered in this superb YouTube compilation.

It includes:
• Calling caretaker Ireland manager Noel King a "bully" and "out of his depth" (0:25) and (8:00);
• His dismantling of Terry Venables prospects of getting the Ireland job (1:25);
• Criticising "nothing player" Steven Gerrard (6:25) and (10:40);
• A comical moment involving Landon Donovan and 'Bianca' (6:30);

• "We're in showbiz, baby" (22:05);
• The famous pen-throwing incident after an "embarrassing" Ireland performance at Italia '90 (22:15);
