"He was calmness personified as he stroked home a penalty on foreign soil in very testing circumstances to put Shamrock Rovers in touching distance of what would have been their biggest-ever result in European football.

Graham Burke remained composed while converting a penalty on foreign soil in very testing circumstances. The successful spot-kick put Shamrock Rovers within touching distance of what would have been their biggest-ever result in European competition. Burke moved to within two goals of the all-time European scoring record for a League of Ireland player. Burke was not put off by the actions of the crowd or by the high transfer-market valuations of AEK Athens players. Shamrock Rovers came close to pulling off a massive away win against a strong AEK Athens side.
