[tps_header]In advance of Wednesday's massive game against England at Wembley, which is being shown live on Setanta Ireland, we are starting the build up, bringing you back to that infamous night and plotting the key storylines that makes May 29th, one of the biggest nights of the sporting calendar.
Over the years Ireland and England have had a great sporting rivalry. Another area they have competed in is to see who could produce the most grotesque jersey. They went tit for tat during the 90's and just when it seemed one country was winning the other would produce another hideous shirt for their players to wear. Here are ten of the worst jerseys Ireland and England have ever had. Be warned, all of these are a terrible affront to the eyes.[/tps_header]
