Euro 2016 is on the horizon.

Flights have been booked, time of work has been applied for (and notice of resignation letters have been prepared in case the dates aren't given) and the Irish fans will be out in force in France next summer.

We've had a little look back at some of the memorabilia from tournaments gone by, and we would love to see these items make a comeback ahead of Euro 2016.

Inflatable hammers everywhere.

Yes, you'll see the odd hammer here and there at an Ireland game, but we want these things everywhere. And they absolutely have to have "Hammered by the Irish" written on them.

Cheesy cheap tournament jerseys.

Yes, they look shite, but we didn't have one of these for Euro 2012 and look where it got us.

We need Dunnes Stores or Penneys to come up with a green top that says 'Ireland' and 'France 16' on it somewhere, that's all.

Celebrations on the Walkinstown roundabout.

If you live anywhere near Walkinstown, then get yourself down to the roundabout if when we get a big result.

Bring flags and terrible haircuts.

T-Shirts like the ones in 'The Van'.

I'll buy a pint for anyone I see in a "Fuck Schillaci" or "Britbusters II" t-shirt over in France.

Obsessions with Panini sticker albums.

They are not just for kids!

I'm buying the Euro 2016 Panini sticker album when it comes out and I'm going to complete that bastard.

Random stuff in cereal boxes.

This isn't something that fans can bring back, but we can put pressure on Kellogs and other cereal brands to put football tournament memorabilia into cereal again!

Billo's Italia 90 hat.

It was absolutely wonderful.

We miss Bill so much, lets bring one of his best accessories over with us.
