    Had to do some digging, it was Juanma Lopez - https://www.transfermarkt.com/spain_...ericht/2373800
    transfermarkt has us playing 5-3-2, but I think Staunton was playing left wing?

    Goikoetxea was booked in the same game

    4 years today since Declan Rice told us he was leaving us for another lover. I still haven't forgiven him, the tramp.

    Suffered from being a right sided defender in a team that already had Gary Kelly, Steve Finnan and Stephen Carr available.

    20 years since a 2-1 win in Georgia, goals from Gary Doherty and Damien Duff.
    Infamously remembered for Kevin Kilbane being struck with a knife, which should have resulted in the game being called off.

    30 years since Ray Houghton made his 50th appearance for Ireland in a 1-1 draw against Denmark. Think Quinn scored three times in four games against Schmeichel for Man City and Ireland that season

    A lot in that 1 minute 31 seconds ~ A mistake by McGrath that led to a very good goal for Denmark ~ Definitely a penalty ( not awarded ) for a foul by Kernaghan ( I think ) ~ And McGrath showing great athleticism after winning the corner ~ Good goal from Quinn from a cross from Staunton.

    We really missed out on what could have been with Stephen Carr ( as did he obviously ) ~ ~ A huge prospect at one stage but injury robbed him and us of what could have been an outstanding career.

    Interesting the number of players we had at that time playing in the First Division who were not in that team - Giles, Heighway, Conroy, Kinnear, Dempsey, Mancini. Dunne. Jimmy Conway would also have been playing regularly for Fulham at that time. We could have had a decent side if players had turned up.

    An interesting On this Day marking Liam Tuohy’s last game as manager of Ireland. Following a prolific LOI career, predominantly at Shamrock Rovers, he accumulated nearly 30 senior trophies (The Leinster Cup and President’s Cup included). Throwing in a three-season spell at Newcastle (signed for them at 27) and eight senior caps (4 goals) made his 1971 appointment as Ireland manager no surprise. He was paid £500 a year, resulting in the necessity to remain manager at Rovers and take on a third job as a salesman at HP Ice Cream.

    As to the match, it’s also interesting to see Ireland’s goal was scored by Mick Martin. He joined Manchester United from Bohemians along with Gerry Daly. Both had impressive spells at Old Trafford before moving to other First Division clubs. Bohemians were amateurs at the time but their talent was impressive. Apart from Martin and Daly, they nurtured such as Jimmy Conway, Turlough O’Connor (both Fulham), Ashley Grimes (Man Utd) and Gerry Ryan (Brighton) who all had significant careers in England.

    Unlike today, the League of Ireland in the late 60s and early 70s, had regular input at international level. Such as Frank O’Neill, Mick Leech, Ronnie Nolan, Johnny Fullam, Mick Smyth and Mick Lawlor (all Shamrock Rovers), Freddie Strahan, Joe Haverty (Shelbourne), Al Finnucane (Limerick), John Herrick (Cork Hibs), Tom McConville (Dundalk), David Pugh (Sligo) and Alfie Hale (Waterford) all featured. There was no international windows then and cross-channel players were regularly denied international release by their clubs - or were suddenly “injured”.

    Tuohy, who later proved a highly successful manager for our U19 side, became a mentor for Brian Kerr who continued that underage success. Tuohy had a natural dry, quick wit which took no prisoners. It comes to mind when I hear Kerr’s punditry as he offers prefabricated quips and laboured one-liners to embellish his monotone criticisms. Some things can’t be taught.

    Unfortunately, Tuohy’s career was somewhat fractured by Charlton’s arrival and obdurate manner. Not for the first or last time, the FAI stuffed up when what was presented as a two-horse race (Charlton-Tuohy) was little more than a ruse to have Bob Paisley appointed. In a shambles with more twists than a John Le Carré novel - John Giles was also invited to apply - Charlton emerged the victor (see link for gory but laughable details).

    Tuohy continued with his successful management of the U19s until Big Jack, invited to give the team a motivational gee-up before their match against England at Elland Road, overrode Tuohy’s authority and game plan. Tuohy was embarrassed, felt undermined and sidelined. He resigned.

    Charlton, of course, did what he did and became an unlikely icon for Irish fans. Tuohy stood back for a while but reemerged as a FAS football director and underage coordinator at Home Farm. He died in 2016.

    Vote shambles

    15 years since Giovanni Trapattoni's first game in charge of the senior side, a 1-1 draw with Serbia. Andy Keogh scored his first goal for the senior team, Glenn Whelan and Damien Delaney both made their debuts

    If you really want to feel old(er), Ade Solanke in the U17 squad was born two and a half weeks later!
